AG asks SASOD to submit draft bill on sexual orientation, gender ID

The Society against Sexual Orientation Discrimination (SASOD) has been asked by Attorney General Basil Williams to submit a draft bill to his office to include sexual orientation and gender identity under the Prevention of Discrimination Act 1997.

This is in conjunction with two of the Ministry’s legislative drafters who were tasked to review the Prevention of Discrimination Act 1997, brief the AG and draft a bill to include sexual orientation and gender identity as protective categories as recommended by SASOD. These drafts are to be submitted by Williams to Cabinet for further deliberations.
