Europe's top human rights commissioner has called on Slovakia to reconsider proposed constitutional amendments that would strip legal recognition from trans individuals and limit adoption rights. The amendments would officially recognize only male and female genders, effectively denying the existence of trans, non-binary, and intersex people. The Council of Europe warns that these changes could breach international law and undermine human rights for everyone in Slovakia. Human rights organizations have voiced their concerns about the impact on marginalized groups, advocating for the protection of rights for all citizens.
The proposed amendments to Slovakia's Constitution aim to redefine gender, denying recognition to trans, non-binary, or intersex individuals, which could infringe on international human rights.
Michael O'Flaherty, the human rights commissioner, highlighted that the amendments could justify breaches of international law and undermine rights for all Slovakians.
