"I am a survivor of historic conversion practices. This happened [many years ago] when I was a child... This is still not illegal,” says one of the tens of thousands of anonymised respondents to Galop's recent study into modern-day conversion practices.
It feels like a no-brainer that conversion practices should be banned. These practices seek to change, ‘cure’, or suppress a person’s sexual orientation and/or gender identity through medical, psychiatric, religious, cultural or other interventions, including therapy and medication, coercive control within families and communities and a wide range of physical, sexual and psychological abuse.
