    Following transgender complaints, Peru cancels “gender-based lockdown”

    The gender-based lockdown measure was criticized by transgender activists worried that it would lead to greater discrimination.

    Peru canceled a controversial measure restricting public movement by gender to try to curb the spread of the new coronavirus, after just over a week. A decree in the official gazette stated that instead of men and women leaving their homes on alternate days “to buy food, pharmaceutical products and perform financial operations, only one person per family unit can move from Monday to Saturday.”
