this judgment, shall be the beneficiary of the reparations ordered by the Court. B. Measures of rehabilitation 135. In its final written observations, the Commission argued that the State should provide the victim with “adequate treatment according to his needs, […] by a person or institution with the expertise required to specifically treat persons who have suffered acts of discrimination.” 136. The representatives requested that the State provide Mr. Olivera with “adequate psychological or psychiatric treatment, as appropriate” free of charge, immediately and for the time necessary. They indicated that the State should also cover the cost of transportation and medications, as well as any other expenses arising from the treatment. They also requested that this treatment be provided by psychologists or psychiatrists with expertise in treating LGBTI Q+ people, by mutual agreement with Mr. Olivera. In the absence of such experts in the general psychological and psychiatric care service of the Integral Health System (hereinafter “SIS”) or the Social Health Service (hereinafter “EsSalud”), they requested that the State provide specialized treatment at a private health center. 137. The State argued that the body of evidence does not show a causal link between the alleged events of August 11, 2004 and the impairment of Mr. Olivera’s mental health.

The Court notes that the expert opinion prepared by Mr. Meneses addressed, in general terms (i) the damage to mental health caused by structural and daily discrimination against LGBTI+ people, particularly gays, lesbians and bisexuals, and (ii) actions to eradicate, prevent and adequately repair this type of harm by the State. The Court also notes that Mr. Olivera stated that the entire proceeding before the domestic authorities was “very frustrating” for him, and that “no one knows how many tears and how much anger I had to go through, when I had to read all these things, all the allegations in the case,” because they constructed a story that “invalidat[ed]” him and discredited his word for being a homosexual. He added that his words had been “ignored” and “stripped of value” and “credibility,” which caused him “a lot of pain” and “emotional 49
