Ban Conversion Therapy - Act Now!

It's still legal for LGBT+ people in the UK to be subjected to conversion therapy. This harmful practice, which seeks to suppress, “cure” or change a person’s sexual orientation and/or gender identity, is taking place right now.

We know that 7% of LGBT+ people have been offered or undergone conversion therapy. People are targeted in medical, psychiatric, psychological, religious and cultural settings. These are places everyone should feel safe.

The UK Government has released its proposals for how it intends to restrict - not ban - conversion therapy in legislation, allowing adults to 'consent' to what the UN defines as torture - and falling way short of the full ban that is needed.

The Labour Party is proudly committed to an outright ban of conversion therapy - and now we need our entire movement to tell the Government that their proposals don't go far enough.

This is our chance to make sure that not only is a ban introduced, but that it is comprehensive and has no exemptions, so that no LGBT+ person is subjected to this abuse.
