The Gibraltar Disability Society wish to congratulate the Equality Right Group Gibraltar after Parliament today passed the Civil Partnership Bill. Felix Alvarez, founder and Chairman of the ERG, stated today that it has taken 14 years of campaigning to bring about this legislation and thanked the Government for delivering on their electoral promise. Unfortunately for disabled members of our community, after over 30 years of campaigning by the Disability Society, there is still no legislation to protect their rights. This is despite a promise by the present government to introduce legislation based on the terms of the UN convention within their first year in government.
