The UK Briefing Paper on Conversion Therapy discusses efforts to ban practices aimed at changing or suppressing a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. It highlights that such practices are widely considered harmful, unethical, and ineffective, with many countries already prohibiting them. The paper emphasizes the UK government’s commitment to banning conversion therapy to protect individuals’ rights and well-being. It also addresses the importance of providing support for those affected and working towards greater understanding and acceptance of diverse identities, aligning with human rights principles and current scientific consensus.
