 In 2012, the Penal Code was amended to provide a penalty of up to life imprisonment for hate crimes based on sexual orientation, gender identity or expression.Article 80(4) of the Penal Code ("Delitos contra las personas", "Crime against individuals") states that life imprisonment shall be imposed to anyone who kills for pleasure, greed and hatred based on racial, religious reasons, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression.Discrimination and harassment on the account of gender identity remain a problem, although the transgender community has become more visible and politically organized.
