==========

STOP THE OPPRESSION AND VIOLENCE against Filipino lesbians, gays, bakla, bayot, bantut, bisexuals, tomboy, transgenders, transsexuals and intersex (LGBTIs) and other sexual and gender minorities (SGMs)!
https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dGdpTkE4QnF5c1djMDZQalYtVWdBNEE6MA..

In support to the campaign of MCC-QC, ProGAY-QC, SGO-Phils, OUTPhils, GABAY, IFTAS and other concerned LGBT groups and formations in monitoring and documenting cases of crime and violence against Filipino LGBTIs, Philippine Forum on Sports, Culture, Sexuality and Human Rights (TEAM PILIPINAS) invites you all to fill-out this survey to give meat to the Yogyakarta Principles and to show that the oppression and violence experienced by Filipino LGBTIs and other SGMs are not only on the level of civil and political rights and freedoms but most importantly on the level of economic, social, and cultural rights and freedoms. More than being victims of hate, stigma at discrimination, Filipino LGBTIs and other SGMs are also victims of structural and systemic oppression and violence such as elitism and elite rule, poverty, heterosexism, patriarchy, religious fundamentalism and intolerance, regionalism, racism and xenophobia, war etc.

 

The survey is quite lengthy and covers a wide range of topics but it aims to strengthen the call to the Permanent Mission of the Republic of the Philippines to the United Nations to sign statements that 1. Affirm the universality of Human Rights and 2. Protect the equal human rights of Filipino lesbians, gays, bakla, bantut, bayot, bisexual, tomboy, transgender, transsexual and intersex (LGBTIs) and other sexual and gender minorities (SGMs).

 

Mabuhay ang lahing kayumanggi! Mabuhay ang dangal, karapatan at kalayaan ng LAHAT ng Pilipino

Mabuhay ang lahing kayumanggi! Mabuhay ang dangal, karapatan at kalayaan ng LAHAT ng Pilipino

UN Gen. Assembly Statement Affirms Rights for all
First ever statement on sexual orientation and gender identity at the UN General Assembly
19/12/2008

The statement read by Argentina and the counterstatement read by the Syrian Arab Republic that immediately followed can be seen respectively at 2:25:00 and at 2:32:00 in the video archived on the UN website and marked as “18 December 08 General Assembly: 70th and 71st plenary meeting – Morning session”.

We have the honour to make this statement on human rights, sexual orientation and gender identity on behalf of Albania, Andorra, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Chile, Colombia, Croatia, Cuba, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, Estonia, Finland, France, Gabon, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Guinea-Bissau, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Mauritius, Mexico, Montenegro, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Paraguay, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Sao Tome and Principe, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Timor-Leste, United Kingdom, Uruguay, and Venezuela.

1 – We reaffirm the principle of universality of human rights, as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights whose 60th anniversary is celebrated this year, Article 1 of which proclaims that “all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights”;

2 – We reaffirm that everyone is entitled to the enjoyment of human rights without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status, as set out in Article 2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 2 of the International Covenants on Civil and Political, Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, as well as in article 26 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights;

3 – We reaffirm the principle of non-discrimination which requires that human rights apply equally to every human being regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity;

4 – We are deeply concerned by violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms based on sexual orientation or gender identity;

5 – We are also disturbed that violence, harassment, discrimination, exclusion, stigmatisation and prejudice are directed against persons in all countries in the world because of sexual orientation or gender identity, and that these practices undermine the integrity and dignity of those subjected to these abuses;

6 – We condemn the human rights violations based on sexual orientation or gender identity wherever they occur, in particular the use of the death penalty on this ground, extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, the practice of torture and other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment or punishment, arbitrary arrest or detention and deprivation of economic, social and cultural rights, including the right to health;

7 – We recall the statement in 2006 before the Human Rights Council by fifty four countries requesting the President of the Council to provide an opportunity, at an appropriate future session of the Council, for discussing these violations;

8 – We commend the attention paid to these issues by special procedures of the Human Rights Council and treaty bodies and encourage them to continue to integrate consideration of human rights violations based on sexual orientation or gender identity within their relevant mandates;

9 – We welcome the adoption of Resolution AG/RES. 2435 (XXXVIII-O/08) on “Human Rights, Sexual Orientation, and Gender Identity” by the General Assembly of the Organization of American States during its 38th session in 3 June 2008;

10 – We call upon all States and relevant international human rights mechanisms to commit to promote and protect human rights of all persons, regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity;

11 – We urge States to take all the necessary measures, in particular legislative or administrative, to ensure that sexual orientation or gender identity may under no circumstances be the basis for criminal penalties, in particular executions, arrests or detention.

12 – We urge States to ensure that human rights violations based on sexual orientation or gender identity are investigated and perpetrators held accountable and brought to justice;

13 – We urge States to ensure adequate protection of human rights defenders, and remove obstacles which prevent them from carrying out their work on issues of human rights and sexual orientation and gender identity.
