Decrimalizatn of Homosexualy is age of nsent Tunisia? “The vis provis an important opportuny to asss the implementatn of human rights standards to bat vlence and discrimatn agast lbian, gay, bisexual, trans and genr-diverse people the untry, ” said Madrigal-Borloz.

This mandate rponds to the ncerns of the ternatnal muny about the tolerance, discrimatn and particularly egreg ab agast lbian, gay, bisexual and transgenr (LGBT) people, as documented the two reports produced 2011 and 2015 by the High Commissner for Human Rights and the thematic reports submted by the mandate to the General Assembly and the Human Rights Council. The progrs rultg om the Revolutn terms of eedom and digny, which are reflected the nstutnal amework that enshr the prcipl of equaly and non-discrimatn, nstute a solid foundatn on which Tunisia n build to ntue the advanc protectn agast vlence and discrimatn and for the full guarantee of the human rights of lbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) persons.

One of the rnerston of the creatn of my mandate is the regnn that gay, lbian, bisexual, trans and genr diverse persons have existed and ntue to exist all rners of the world, all regns and untri, all cultur and all eras. In many stutns, for example, trans women have been scribed as gay men. In this perspective, some have stated that there are few mands for more protectn of LGBT people and that the crimalizatn of homosexualy has not been clud the major mands of the Tunisian revolutn and, the face of the current reali of unemployment and enomic stagnatn, ntue to be unimportant the ey of most cizens.

Homosexual men, particular, live their liv unr the threat of crimalizatn. This crimalizatn also creas the fear of homosexual and trans populatns, as well as sex workers, to be arrted and forc them to go unrground, to rea om participatg HIV preventn and HIV risk preventn programm or even to posss ndoms or lubrints, as this uld nstute, for police officers, physil proof of homosexualy or sex work.

In practice, prison thori and officers regnize that homosexual men are part of the prison populatn and also clu trans women that populatn. I was able to vis the largt prison the untry and observe the differentiated approach taken for homosexual men.
