Argentina's Army is one of several official bodies that must comply with new legislation guaranteeing the incorporation of transvestites, transsexuals and transgender people into the workplace, according to press reports.
Sources from the Defence Ministry, quoted in various media outlets, said that Army commanders and chiefs have been asked to prepare a report on "the existing situation" regarding compliance with the new norm, which requires that one percent of state posts be guaranteed for trans individuals, provided there are suitable candidates.
On September 4, the government published a decree saying the new one-percent quota would apply to state agencies as part of an effort to "begin to repair the violations that have historically been committed against transvestites, transsexuals and transgender people."
