UK Conversion Practices Prohibition Bill Progresses
The Labour government advanced its Conversion Practices (Prohibition) Bill, which aims to ban conversion therapy for both sexual orientation and gender identity in England and Wales. The legislation proposes criminal offences for conducting conversion practices and providing support for survivors. The bill represented the culmination of years of campaigning and multiple failed attempts under previous governments.
Impact & Significance
If enacted, would make the UK one of the most comprehensive jurisdictions in prohibiting conversion practices, fulfilling a long-standing demand of LGBTQ+ advocacy organisations.
