Abstract
The present report is the result of PAHO’s technical cooperation conducted in eleven countries with the collaboration of the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Guatemala. The aim of this report is to promote and protect the right to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standards of health (“right to health”) and other related human rights and fundamental freedoms of young people and women and men in situation of vulnerability (including people living with HIV, as well as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex persons, designated collectively under the acronym LGBTI persons).
 
PAHO/WHO thanks the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Guatemala and the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation (AECID) for their financial contribution that facilitated the development and publication of this document. The opinions expressed in this publication are those of the author (s) and do not necessarily reflect the point of views of the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Guatemala and AECID.
