translated from Spanish: Same criticizes exclusion of the demands of the LGBTi community from the public account

On the 28th of May, the news about the Suicide of a young trans in Copiapó because of the bullying he would suffer from his school community, as reported by the family and a letter that would have left the child before taking his life.
Despite this brutal fact and at least 14 cases of attacks against lesbians, gays and transgender people who have occurred in the 2019, the President, Sebastián Piñera, made no mention of the demands for equal rights and the end of the violence that has raised the Community.
The same was accused by the foundation, which indicates that the President did not refer to the entry into force of the Gender Identity Act — approved within its management and scheduled for next October — which will allow people to adapt their documents of Identification to be consistent with their gender identity; Nor to the equal marriage project that is awaiting the adoption of the idea of legislating, so that all people in Chile, regardless of their sexual orientation, can access civil marriage, or reforms to the anti-discrimination law and Law D and adoptions.
Juan Enrique Pi, executive president of the same foundation, questioned this new omission and urged the Government to remember that the rights of Lesbian, gay, bisexual, Trans and Intersex (LGBTi) People are human rights and, as such, cannot be ignored.
“For the second consecutive year one of the historically discriminated groups of Chile is invisible from the public account. We had no proposals in their government program, nor in any of President Piñera’s public accounts. The government cannot keep ignoring the human rights of the LGBTi community, “said Pi.
He added that “it is surprising that the only human rights announcement is related to the amendment of the national Plan, which seeks to empty Chile’s international obligation with equal marriage.”
