vakardienas varenais protests man radījis īstenu valsts svētku sajūtu. mūsu, kam rūp Latvija, demokrātija, līdztiesība, tiesiskums un cieņa vienam pret otru, ir daudz.

acīmredzot arī citi sajutās patriotiski, jo no rīta mani, atverot aizkarus, sveicināja valsts karogs ♥️

Vēlēšanas ir nākamgad. Jā, atzīstu, ka tāpat nebalsotu par spēkiem, kas ir pret SK, taču tagad būs iemesls runāt ar vecmāmiņām, radiem, draugiem, paziņām un teikt - ja tev rūp Latvijas sieviešu drošība, tad, lūdzu, nebalso par šīm partijām un šiem cilvēkiem.

Tā vietā, lai piedāvātu risinājumus partiju regulējuma pilnveidei, cilvēki, kuriem it kā rūp Saeimas intelektuālā kapacitāte un kurus vieno tikai viena (slikta) ideja, startēs vēlēšanās. Diemžēl ir lētticīgi cilvēki, kuriem liksies, ka šis nav solis burtiski pretējā virzienā no deklarētās ieceres.

8/ Sections about exceptions. One key point is that certain exceptions apply only “during the process of gender reassignment”. These exceptions were only partially modified by the Gender Recognition Act, and the Supreme Court has never fully explained this in its judgment.

PART TWO - APPLICATION OF THE SEX DISCRIMINATION (GENDER REASSIGNMENT)
Rup ULATIONS 1999
The Sex Discrimination (Gender Reassignment) Regulations 1999 insert into the Sex
Discrimination Act 1975 a provision which extends the Act to cover discrimination on grounds of gender reassignment in employment and vocational training. Therefore, any reference to discrimination in employment against men or women in parts Il and Ill (so far as it applies to vocational training) of the 1975 Act should be read as applying similarly to discrimination on gender reassignment grounds. Thus, a claim can be brought against an employer or individual employee for any unlawful discrimination, including harassment.
The Regulations cover only
direct discrimination.
How is "discrimination on grounds of gender reassignment" defined ?
It is unlawful to discriminate against a person for the purpose of employment or vocational training on the ground that that person intends to undergo gender reassignment, or is undergoing gender reassignment, or has at some time in the past undergone gender reassignment. This ensures that the various stages of the gender reassignment process, including the very initial stage, where an individual indicates an intention to commence gender
reassignment, are covered by the Regulations. It is not necessary for all three circumstances to apply for discrimination to have taken place.
Unfavourable treatment on gender reassignment grounds means treating a person less favourably than you treat, or would treat, a person for whom no gender reassignment grounds exist. This will also apply to recruitment, unless a Genuine Occupational Qualification exists.
Are there any exceptions from the provisions of the Regulations?
Yes, in limited circumstances. It may not be unlawful to discriminate on grounds of gender reassignment where:
• a person's sex is a Genuine Occupational Qualification (GOQ) for that job;
• the job involves the holder conducting intimate searches pursuant to st…

out in paragraph 14-17 of the Equal Opportunity Commission's Code of Practice on Sex Discrimination.
The GOQ provisions introduced by the Sex Discrimination (Gender Reassignment)
Regulations acknowledge the unique situation of a person recruited for a specific single sex
GOQ post who commences the gender reassignment process whilst still employed in that post. in such circumstances, the Regulations allow an employer to consider dismissing an individual or taking some other form of action. The employer must be able to show that, firstly, an applicable GOQ exists, and secondly, that any treatment accorded to the individual is reasonable in all the circumstances of the case. It is emphasised that an unreasonable action could well lead to a finding of unlawful discrimination, regardless of an existing GOQ. Action short of dismissal, such as re-deployment to another part of the organisation where no such single sex GOQ exists, might be negotiable, especially in larger firms, and should be the first option considered in such circumstances. Reference is made in Part Three of this Guide to good practice involving discussing options with the employee at an early stage to try to come to a mutually satisfactory arrangement.
What about recruitment to a post which has a Single Sex GOQ?
With respect to recruitment to a GOQ post, employers should be aware that failure to recruit a person to whom gender reassignment grounds apply and who is living and presenting in their
"new" sex may be considered unreasonable and lead to claims of discrimination by those aggrieved. The onus will be on the employer to show that he or she acted reasonably in the circumstances.
Do the Regulations create any supplementary GOQs in the Sex Discrimination Act relating specifically to Gender Reassignment grounds?
Yes. In addition to the provisions of s7 of the SDA, the new Regulations introduce supplementary GOQs relating to gender reassignment grounds. These include provisions which relate to intimate p…

It is also not unlawful for an employer to discriminate where a post requires the holder to provide vulnerable individuals with personal services promoting their welfare, or similar personal circumstances, and in the reasonable view of the employer, those services cannot be adequately provided by a person whilst undergoing gender reassignment. It is envisaged that this exception will apply only in very rare circumstances and is not a general defence for discrimination on gender reassignment grounds against individuals who provide such personal services. An employer must be able to show that he or she acted reasonably in concluding that those services would best be provided by a person not undergoing the gender reassignment process.
How much time do the Regulations allow for medical treatment?
The Regulations do not specify a minimum time employers should allow a person undergoing medical and/or surgical treatment related to the process of gender reassignment. employer must not treat any less favourably a person absent while undergoing gender reassignment than he or she treats, or would treat, a person absent because of illness or undergoing other medical treatment.
However, as with any major treatment, there is always a small possibility that complications as a result of medical treatment for transsexualism could result in a prolonged incapacity for work. If incapacity continues beyond the normal expectations for the process undergone, a transsexual employee could be retired on medical grounds in the same way as any other person who becomes unfit for duty.
Part Ill suggests good practice for dealing with the absence of an employee undergoing the gender reassignment process.
Do the Regulations cover protection from harassment?
Yes. Harassment of an individual on the ground of gender reassignment will give rise to unlawful discrimination. Such discrimination should be dealt with in the same way as harassment is dealt with for any member of staff who is being discrimin…

Commençons déjà par différencier les petites associations des grandes causes très médiatisées et souvent politisées.
Puis regardons pour ces dernières l’utilisation des fonds, notamment par leurs dirigeants.
Enfin limitons la RUP aux « vitales » (logement, alimentaire, santé).

« Ça ne tient plus » : les associations organisent une mobilisation inédite pour alerter sur leur situation d’urgence financière
