Conversion Therapy

The question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what steps she is taking to ban conversion practices.

Answered by Dame Nia Griffith

Conversion practices are abuse - they have no place in society and must be stopped.

My ministerial colleagues and I are working hard to bring forward legislation to deliver a full trans-inclusive ban that offers protection from these abusive practices while preserving the freedom for individuals to explore their identity, and also respects the important roles of those supporting them.
