Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what steps she is taking to improve support for young trans people under the age of 18.

It is crucial that all trans people, regardless of age, are safe, included and protected from discrimination.

There are strong protections in place for young trans people to live free from discrimination and harassment. In addition to this, work is already underway to fulfil the commitments set out in the Government’s manifesto, advancing the rights and protections afforded to young trans people. This includes delivering a trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices and equalising all existing strands of hate crime to make them aggravated offences.
