Equality Hub Ministers and officials have engaged with a wide range of stakeholders on the subject of conversion practices, including representatives of LGBT organisations and counterparts in international jurisdictions, in order to fully inform our approach to this complex issue.

This engagement consists of, but is not limited to, holding conversations with victims and survivors, LGBT groups, healthcare professionals, faith groups, groups advocating for sex-based rights and parliamentarians.

Several international jurisdictions have passed legislation in this area recently, and our analysis of their approaches is ongoing.
