A/HRC/27/4 among police, social workers and health workers. Awareness-raising activities had previously taken place during the week against homophobia, which had resulted in increased public awareness. There were proposals to amend the Family Code concerning cohabitation for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons, and to amend the Labour Code to broaden the concept of non-discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in matters of employment and vocational training. 102. In response to the question on overlapping competencies between the People’s Advocate and the Commissioner for Protection from Discrimination, the delegation outlined a number of differences between the two institutions. The People’s Advocate was a constitutional institution, defending the rights of individuals from public administration actions. It made recommendations on such cases and was able to initiate proceedings in a constitutional court. The Commissioner was an independent public institution, ensuring non-discrimination in both the private and public sectors, imposing fines and providing representation for complainants in civil judicial cases. 103. In response to the question on the protection of women’s rights, the delegation gave assurances that the Government’s commitment to continue implementing measures had already been demonstrated. Albania had been one of the first to ratify the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence and was implementing it, collaborating with NGOs and providing them with funds from the State budget. The Government was also committed to eliminating the gender wage gap, as well as the discrepancy between the content and the implementation of legislation and its implementation in that respect. II.
