The committee also expressed concern about state policies affecting women, ethnic and religious minorities and the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community.
The committee calls for the addition of taxation and social welfare to the new Civil Partnership Bill and for transgender persons to be granted new birth certificates.
While acknowledging progress made toward gender equality, the committee notes that traditional attitudes towards women remain officially sanctioned in the state’s constitution.

His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
Jesus answered, "Neither he nor his parents sinned; it is so that the works of God might be made visible through him. "

Mahatma Ghandi, though a devout Hindu, was widely known to admire Jesus; Ghandi often quoted from the Sermon on the Mount, in fact. Once when the missionary E. Stanley Jones met with Ghandi he asked him, "Mr. Ghandi, though you quote the words of Christ often, why is that you appear to so adamantly reject becoming his follower?"
Ghandi replied, "Oh, I don't reject your Christ. I love your Christ. It's just that so many of you Christians are so unlike your Christ."
