This is a blog is related to my academic work in the International Academic Forum on SOGIESC Law but meant to serve anyone who wants to contribute to improve the protection of human rights worldwide. It is intended to keep interested readers informed about legal developments relating to sexual orientation, gender expression and identity and sex characteristics (SOGIESC). Hopefully, it will make it easier to find correct legal information about the developments in all regions of the world and, in particular, with regard to international law.
IVF to be available for lesbian and single women in France
After yearlong debates in France, often very hateful and harmful for lesbians and single women, the victory has finally come on 27 September. The National Assembly approved the new bioethics law extending the right to use IVF methods to lesbian and single women. ILGA-Europe want to congratulate all the activists who have fought hard and tirelessly for this over the years. We regret that trans men are excluded from the law. The law adopted still has to be approved by the upper house before going into effect. Read more about the new bill.
