National Council of Anti-discrimination and Pro-Human Rights of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transvestites and Transsexuals(LGBT)
The National Council of Anti-discrimination and Pro-Human Rights of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transvestites and Transsexuals was established on October 4th, 2001, to mainly propose and monitor public policies related to the defense of social and individual rights of victims of racial discrimination or other forms of intolerance. The establishment of the National Council for the Promotion of Racial Equality - created on May 23, 2003, altered the profile of the council, which until then was more focused on ethnic and racial issues. From this moment on, the council began to act more towards the recognition of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights. In 2005, the procedural structure of the council was updated to explicitly include the participation of LGBT members. It is the council?s responsibility to participate in the elaboration of criteria and parameters of government action. The council also reviews and monitors actions, priorities, deadlines and goals for the National Plan for the Promotion of the Citizenship and Human Rights of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transvestites and Transsexuals. The council is equally comprised of 30 members from the government and the civil society. Among public authority members are representatives of various federal organs. The 15 representatives of civil society are referred by nonprofit organizations and selected by public selective processes.
