UN report calls on countries to ban ‘gender transitions’ for children
The report associates the legal ‘erasure of sex’ with increased vulnerability to exploitation, particularly in the context of ‘gender transitions’ among children.
A report presented on June 25 by the United Nations’ special rapporteur on violence against women warns of emerging forms of sex-based violence, including medical procedures related to “gender transitions” in minors.
“Allowing children access to such procedures not only violates their right to safety, security and freedom from violence, but also disregards their human right to the highest standards of health and goes against their best interests,” the report says.
