VOICED : Bolivia reconoce por primera vez la unión de una pareja del mismo sexo

David Víctor Aruquipa Pérez and Guido Álvaro Montaño became the first same-sex couple recognized in a civil union in Bolivia after a long legal battle. Their case highlighted the limitations of Bolivian law, which did not recognize same-sex unions. The couple appealed to the Constitutional Court, which referenced the Inter-American Court of Human Rights' 2017 ruling that states must recognize and protect same-sex family ties. The decision was celebrated by the Defensoría del Pueblo and LGBTI organizations, marking a significant step towards equality and setting a precedent for human rights and anti-discrimination in Bolivia.
