Summary

The European Commission has rejected a proposal for a EU-wide ban on conversion therapy, instead opting for a non-binding recommendation in 2027. Equality Commissioner Hadja Lahbib urges countries to ban these harmful practices, citing their lack of therapeutic value. Campaign organizers criticize the decision, arguing a recommendation wont guarantee action. The Commission also rejected adding conversion therapy to the list of eurocrimes and modifying victim rights laws due to unanimity requirements. Lahbib plans to lobby ministers to end these practices. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
