    Best practices

    In addition to the national law prohibiting discrimination on grounds of SOGI in education, a number of autonomous regions have additionally put in place anti-discrimination laws for the same purpose and a number of them went further by also including sex characteristics as a protected ground.

     

    While federal legal gender recognition regulations are not based on self-determination, 10 of the 17 regions already provide for LGR on this basis.

     

    FELGTB runs the RED EDUCA program, providing training and information to teachers, students, and their families in early childhood education, primary and secondary, and higher (BA) education, on LGBTQI issues. Ten organisations are part of the project: they hold workshops, provide support in cases of bullying and harassment, and help schools design and implement protocols and policies, among others.

     

    While there is no national policy regarding name use and gender recognition in schools and universities, a number of regions have laws or protocols in place regarding trans students and how schools must accommodate them, for instance Valencia and the Canary Islands. Some universities have also adopted protocols, for instance the University of La Laguna, University of Valencia, and the University of Castilla La Mancha.
