Ávarp á ráðherrafundi Equal Rights Coalition
Exellencies,
I would like to thank the co-chairs, Argentina and the United Kingdom, for hosting this conference and welcome this opportunity to highlight Iceland’s support for the Equal Rights Coalition.
Let me first say that we are a proud member of this Coalition and fully committed to its vision, mission, and values.
The Icelandic government places a strong emphasis on the rights of LGBTI+ people and works diligently to make improvements within this policy area in Iceland, as evidenced by the recent changes to the law on gender autonomy and the law on equal treatment in the labour market
