Mauritius Rights Body Calls for Marriage Equality
Mauritius's national human rights body has publicly called for the legalisation of same-sex marriage, urging the government to extend marriage equality to same-sex couples. Human Rights Watch highlighted the call, drawing attention to ongoing debates over LGBT rights in the Indian Ocean nation, where same-sex relations are legal but marriage remains reserved for heterosexual couples.
Why now: A national rights institution urging marriage equality is a significant step in ongoing LGBT rights debates in Mauritius and the region.
