Anti-discrimination law at national level?


-Lack of harmonization of anti-discrimination laws

-Have signed many international agreements guaranteeing rights (Ex. CEDAW), but have done little to implement them at national levelàneed for harmonization of international standards with domestic legislation

-No prohibition of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity

-Significant amount of social discrimination against women, indigenous populations, the LGBT community
