#AllOut: The new Haitian Penal Code has removed the protections provided for in the preliminary draft. We demand their urgent reintroduction.
In #Haiti, the draft of the new criminal code finally included protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation.
These articles would have made it possible to punish hate crimes and offer legal protection to #LGBT+ people. But when the code was finally adopted, these provisions were simply removed. Today, the current criminal code no longer contains any reference to sexual orientation.
