Same-sex sexual activity has been legal since 2007, but households headed by same-sex couples are not eligible for the same legal protections available to opposite-sex married couples. In 2011, Vanuatu signed the "joint statement on ending acts of violence and related human rights violations based on sexual orientation and gender identity" at the United Nations, condemning violence and discrimination against LGBT people.[2] [https://www.facebook.com/VPrideFoundation/ VPride Foundation] is a Vanuatuan human rights group that advocates for LGBT rights, freedom of speech and freedom of religion. The group has organised many events to raise awareness of LGBT people in Vanuatu. Some of these events have been attended by government officials.[3] Law regarding same-sex sexual activitySame-sex sexual activity is legal in Vanuatu. Since 2007, the age of consent has been equal, regardless of gender or sexual orientation.[1] Recognition of same-sex relationshipsVanuatu does not recognise same-sex unions in any form.[4][5]In October 2013, the Minister for Internal Affairs issued a warning, which said that pastors are not allowed to preside over same-sex marriages.[6] Discrimination protectionsThere is no legal protection against all forms of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.[7] There is no general prohibition of employment discrimination based on sexual orientation in Vanuatu. However, Section 18.2(f) of the Teaching Service Act 2013 establishes the obligation of the Vanuatu Teaching Service Commission not to discriminate in recruitment, promotion, professional development, transfer and all other aspects of the management of its employees on the basis of "sexual preference".[8][9] Social conditionsVanuatu is a socially conservative country. Gay and lesbian travellers (and citizens) are advised to avoid public displays of affection. There is no active gay scene in Vanuatu.[10] The International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia was first celebrated in Vanuatu in 2016. The event was organised by VPride Foundation.[11] In October 2016, the group, in correlation with other human rights groups, held a workshop on LGBT rights and women's rights. The Minister of Health attended the event, and discussed issues such as better access to healthcare for people living with HIV/AIDS.[3] Summary table
