Resulting from the I GLBT National Conference, held in Brasília between June 5th and 8th, the National Plan for the Promotion of Citizenship and Human Rights of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transvestites and Transexuals brings up guidelines and fosters actions for the formulation of Public Policies aiming at that segment, mobilizing the public power and the organized civil society towards the consolidation of a democratic pact.

The formulation of the National Plan for the Promotion of Citizenship and Human Rights of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transvestites and Transexuals is grounded on ethical and political precepts and guidelines which aim at securing rights and full citizenship.

The Plan contemplates, from an integrated perspective, the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the proposals approved during the I GBLT National Conference, convoked by President Lula, the first of its kind in the country's history, still considering the conception and implementation of public policies.

 

General Objective

To offer guidance for the construction of public policies of social inclusion and combat inequalities for the LGBT population, prioritizing its intersectoral and tranversal aspects when proposing and implementing those policies.

Specific Goals

 

To promote the Brazilian LGBT population's basic human rights, such as the right to life, freedom, equality, safety and property, as stated in the 5th article of the Federal Constitution;

To promote the Brazilian LGBT population's social rights, mainly of those at social risk and exposure to violence;

To fight stigma and discrimination against sexual orientation and gender identity.

 

The National Plan for the Promotion of Citizenship and Human Rights of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transvestites and Transexuals starts from the certainty that more social access and participation in the spaces of power are essential instruments to democratize the Brazilian State and society. Therefore, it must be seen as a long range strategy of whole of the government rather than of a specific area. The plan's implementation requires coordinated actions articulated by several organs, secretaries and ministries. For this, an institutional web must be woven between the Federal, the State and the Municipal Governments aiming at the implementation of that Policy, so as to achieve the intended results and the overcoming of discrimination against sexual orientation and gender identity in the country.
