Activist lawyer, Maduabuchi Idam has called on the National Assembly to pass a legislation for the establishment of a separate cell rooms in all detention facilities in Nigeria for transgender individuals.

Idam also urged the National Assembly to come up with legislation to establish conveniences on public places for transgender individuals in Nigeria.

This was contained in an open letter to the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abass, dated April 6, 2024.

The Abuja-based constitutional lawyer also called for the criminalization of gender transition.

The letter titled: โ€œDemand to either criminalize gender transition or pass a legislation for the establishment of a separate cell rooms in all detention facilities and conveniences in public places, for transgender individuals in Nigeria.โ€

According to Idam: โ€œFollowing the growing cases of gender switch in Nigeria, I, Maduabuchi O. Idam, Esq., write as a human rights and public interest activist to demand that the National Assembly should forthwith pass a legislation to either discourage gender switch in Nigeria or alternatively ensure that both transgenders and cisgendersโ€™ rights are adequately protected, in order to preclude one from violating the other, by introducing separate cells and conveniences like toilets, bathrooms or wash rooms in public places particularly for individuals with artificial gender.

โ€œAlthough I consider gender switch to be unethical, I respect the opinions of those who believe otherwise. Nonetheless, I demand that if transgenderism cannot be discouraged, the National Assembly must ensure that cisgendersโ€™ rights are not compromised in a bid to observe transgendersโ€™ rights.

โ€œIt is noted therefore, that cisgenders are not expected to be comfortable sharing the same cell rooms and conveniences with trans individuals. Meanwhile, it is my view that it amount to a violation of cisgendersโ€™ rights to privacy and dignity of human person to permit trans people to access places like cells and conveniences that are exclusively designated for cisgenders and vice versa. Hence, the need to quickly consider this demand with a view to legislating on the subject matter.โ€
