The Comprehensive Anti-Discrimination Bill (CADB) provides for the prohibition of discrimination on the basis of age, racial or ethnic origin, religious belief or activity, political inclination or conviction, social class, sex gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expressions, marital or relationship status, disability, HIV status, health status or medical history, language, physical features, and other status.
The Bill focuses on ensuring that there is equal access to Basic Services, Education, Employment and Reasonable Accommodation (an adjustment made in a system to accommodate or make fair the same system for an individual based on a proven need). The bill also provides penalties for acts that inflict stigma, vilification and ridicule; profiling; inflicting harm on health and well-being; abuses by State and Non-State Actors; and, arbitrary detention and confinement against those identified by this measure.
Urge Senator Sotto and Speaker Cayetano to support CADB.
