ARC International raises concern about rights of women & LGBTI in Iran during HRC31
“Iran must repeal the slew of laws which seek to imprison sexual and gender diversity within the iron cage of a man made artificially imposed binary two gender system”, said ARC’s Geneva Director Arvind Narrain during the Interactive Dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran, during the 31st regular session of the Human Rights Council,
“Accepting the norm of equality of all people regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression would be in conformity with the promise of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which is a bedrock principle of human rights by which all nations are bound”, he added.
