| Description | In Paraguay, there is no specific national law regulating or guaranteeing the use of public restrooms based on gender identity. Transgender individuals face a highly conservative social climate and lack legal gender recognition. Transgender people frequently encounter social stigma, discrimination or refusal of entry when attempting to use public restrooms. Occasionally the police may also target them for mandatory document checks that could have an impact on what restroom they’ll be allowed to use. |
