New publication: Transgender People and The Gender Recast Directive: Implementation Guidelines
The document provides an overview of the European Union gender equality legislation and the European Court of Justice (ECJ) decisions with regard to cases that were brought forward by trans people. Subsequently it looks at the Gender Recast Directive (the first EU Directive to have an express reference to trans people in its text)
and the way that it should be implemented at national level to protect trans people against discrimination in employment and occupation.
Importantly, this document highlights the gaps that still exist and provides clear guidelines as to how they should be addressed. EU Member States and EEA countries have up to 15 February 2011 to inform the European Commission how they have transposed this Directive into national law, and we thus urge you to make the maximum use of this publication in you advocacy at national level, to ensure that all countries adequately cover gender identity.
All those who would like to receive a copy/ copies of this publication are welcome to send their postal address and requested number of copies to Nanna Moe at nanna@ilga-europe.org
Kindly be mindful that the number of copies is limited.
