The report mentions a new strategic position which attributes “a central place to the promotion of equality, the struggle against discrimination and access to rights” by redeploying the Authority›s territorial network and launching a national study to identify and better understand situations of inequality and non-recourse to rights. Considering that the right to health “constitutes a fundamental right, a pivotal point without which one cannot be in a position to exercise one’s other rights”, the Commissioner for Human Rights’ action extended to re-establishing the equality of individuals in their access to rights in the field of health by identifying objective obstacles, such as territorial inequalities or the lack of public services, and personal obstacles resulting from situations of vulnerability. The Commissioner for Human Rights also led a policy to combat discrimination based on the state of health or handicap and expressed opinions on bioethical issues relative to transsexualism, ART and surrogacy.
