translated from Spanish: Chile approved his gender identity law

with 95 votes in favor and 46 against, the Chilean Chamber of Deputies approved Wednesday in Valparaiso Bill of gender identity. After five years of discussions, on September 5 it had been approved in the Senate and was the turn of the Chamber of Deputies, which was awarded the half missing penalty.

Although the LGBTQI community of Chile is of celebration, there are many criticisms that rain down to this new law. The main: includes only older than 14 years. For this reason, sexual diversity organizations appealed to the UN and the Inter-American Commission on human rights (IACHR).

Now the project will go down in the preventive control of the Constitutional Court and then the President of the Republic, Sebastián Piñera, can add, remove and formulate vetoes. If that happens, the project returns to the Senate to discuss again and must pass in both chambers. If the President does not make observations, the law is list is enacted and published. 

Then watch the moment when the law was passed: gender law Chile identity

approve
