Some achievements In 2011-2012 three bills to ban so-called "propaganda of homosexuality" were submitted to the Ukrainian parliament – were rejected. In November 2015, the Ukrainian Parliament adopted an amendment to the Labor Code which prohibited discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) in employment. Thus, for the first time in Ukraine, LGBT people were protected from discrimination at the legislative level. 2015: adoption of the Action Plan to implement the National Strategy on Human Rights. LGBTI items are included into national human rights policy.
