We welcome the European Commission’s commitment to a Recommendation on ending conversion practices, a decisive step forward. But urgency remains: only 8 EU countries ban them, leaving millions exposed to harm disguised as “help”. Europe must act together to end this violence. #EndConversionPractices

5/ Together, we can create a safe, fair, and equal Europe for all.

Real protection for LGBTQ+ people, now.

Eight years of promises, there's still no ban.

ℹ️ Conversion ‘therapy’ is any intervention that seeks to change, ‘cure’ or suppress the sexual orientation and/or gender identity of a person.

It is not a form of 'therapy', it's abuse.

It's time for the government to act.
