The report was compiled based on the protocol of the National report on violations of the rights of gay men, other MSM and trans* people, in particular the right to health. The basis for the national report is systematized information on cases of violations of the right to health (cases documented during the year) in Armenia, collected using tools provided by ЕCОМ and partner initiatives, as well as a brief analysis of the legal environment.
Several research methods were used as part of monitoring:
- Analysis of documented cases from the REAct database;
- Prepared appeals to paralegals;
- Analysis of thematic materials from open sources.
Goal of information collection: to identify cases of violations of the human rights, in particular the right to health, of gay, bisexual and other MSM, and trans* people.
As a result of the analysis, the main grounds for violations and discrimination were identified, and quantitative data was obtained. Conclusions and recommendations were developed based on this data.
