Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, whether victims of (a) sexual orientation and (b) gender identity conversion practices will have statutory access to victim support under the Government’s proposed conversion practices ban.

The Government funds a support service for anyone affected by or at risk of conversion practices, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender. The service is run by Galop, which is the UK’s leading LGBT+ anti-abuse charity, and comprises a helpline, instant messaging service, and website, ensuring survivors of the practice can find and access the support that they need.
