#UPR

During the adoptions of UPR outcomes for Cyprus at the 57th UN Human Rights Council #HRC57, we praised the State for accepting recommendations aimed at combating hate speech and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. However, we also expressed disappointment with the decision to note critical recommendations - including on marriage and adoption equality - and we remain concerned about ongoing discrimination in employment, housing, and healthcare faced by LGBTI communities.
