Mr. President,
Iceland welcomes the delegation of Namibia and its national report. 
In the spirit of constructive engagement, Iceland recommends the following:

1.    Strengthen existing legal and policy frameworks to prevent and respond to gender-based violence. 
2.    Legalize abortion under all circumstances.
3.    Ensure access to comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) in and out of school settings.
4.    Eradicate child marriage.
5.    Amend anti-discrimination legislation to include SOGIESC as prohibited grounds for discrimination.
6.    Legalize same sex marriage of consenting adults. 
7.    Introduce a transparent administrative self-identification process for legal gender recognition free from intrusive requirements.

I wish Namibia all success for its review. 
I thank you.
