10 countries across Europe have already taken action to end conversion practices. Scotland should join the growing number of countries that recognises the harm they cause, and introduce the measures needed to protect LGBTQA+ people. Find out more: equality-network.org/cp

Conversion practices seek to change or suppress who we are and who we love on the basis that being LGBTQA+ is "wrong", and that it's better to be heterosexual and/or cisgender. They still happen in Scotland, and that has to change. Find out more: equality-network.org/cp

International human rights experts all agree – conversion practices harm LGBTQA+ people and action should be taken to end them. 10 countries in Europe already have. Stay up to date with how you can join the call to end conversion practices in Scotland: eepurl.com/U4cvP

LGBTQA+ people don’t need to be “fixed”. Being subjected to conversion practices, which teach you that you do, can cause lifelong harm. We need action to stop these harmful practices. But most importantly, for there to be support in place for people who have experienced them.

The Safe Access Zones Scotland Bill will come into force from September 24th! 😀 This is a pivotal moment for reproductive rights in Scotland. I am delighted that we have an implementation date and that change is coming.

We are disappointed to see no firm commitment to a timeline for legislating on Conversion Practices in Scotland in today’s Programme for Government.

Conversion practices do not work - but they do cause lifelong harm to those that are subjected to them. Trans people are subjected to these harmful practices too. That’s why any ban must be trans inclusive. Find out more at: equality-network.org/cp

The judge has now given her ruling in the legal challenge against the puberty blocker ban. She has ruled that the ex Secretary of State did not ban blockers unlawfully. We are taking advice about the next steps in challenging the ban. transactual.org.uk/blog/2024…
