This report examines the legal frameworks that exist to protect equal marriage and civil unions in Spain and across four countries in Latin America (Argentina, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Mexico), exploring the relevant legal protections, rights, and prohibitions against discrimination.
The research was commissioned by Vidas Paralelas to support and facilitate their advocacy work around equal marriage and civil unions in Guatemala, and the wider Central American region.
The report is the outcome of a collaboration between Hivos and the Thomson Reuters Foundation, as part of the We Lead programme, a five-year programme on sexual and reproductive rights funded by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
We are proud to have contributed to making this report possible through TrustLaw, our global pro bono legal service, which connects civil society organisation to free legal support from leading legal teams across the globe. We would like to thank law firm ECIJA Guatemala for its pro bono work conducting the legislative analysis which forms the basis of the report.
