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.

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.
