Worldwide, Malta, Ecuador, Brazil and Taiwan have banned conversion therapy, according to OutRight Action International, an LGBT+ advocacy group. Britain, parts of Canada and Australia are also mulling bans.
“Bans go a long way in changing the societal perceptions which drive the existence of ‘conversion therapy’,” Jessica Stern, the executive director of Outright Action International, said.
“They send a powerful message that LGBTIQ people are not in need of change or cure.”
