Law to Create a Day to Remember Conversion Therapy Victims

Conversion Therapy Awareness Day Law

Introduced Jun 13, 2024
Summary

This proposed law wants to create a special day to remember the harm caused by conversion therapy. It would be called "National Conversion Therapy Awareness Day." This day would be marked every year. This proposed law affects everyone in Canada. It aims to make people more aware of what conversion therapy is. It also highlights the damage it can cause to individuals and families. By having a special day, the hope is to educate the public and prevent future harm. This matters because conversion therapy is a harmful practice. It tries to change someone's sexual orientation or gender identity. Many people and groups believe it is wrong and causes lasting damage. This proposed law is a step towards stopping this practice by raising awareness and promoting acceptance.
