A network of civil society organizations has called on political parties to push for a gender recognition law, as not allowing trans people to change their gender markers and limiting legal markers to a binary male or female have led to discrimination against trans, non-binary, and intersex people.

A civil society network is preparing to propose a gender recognition bill which would allow trans people to change the gender markers in their official documents to match their identities. It would also permit non-binary people to use gender-neutral markers and allow intersex people to employ gender neutral markers until they decide their gender orientation.
