🚨 We have to act now. British MPs are actively shaping European transactivist policy through the Council of Europe, while many other delegates lack a clear understanding of these issues and have never sat through a substantive debate on them. UK Labour MP Kate Osborne tabled a resolution on conversion therapy bans with gender identity and gender expression, and it passed committee unanimously.

The Council of Europe’s Parliament will vote on this resolution on 29 January. It calls for criminal sanctions on mental-health professionals, educators, parents and social workers who do not affirm a child’s self-declared trans identity. It proposes mandatory training and public awareness campaigns, and mandatory sex-education on gender identity. It is pure ideological overreach.

Delegates will vote on this in two weeks. They need to hear from you. Join our campaign and write to them today. ⬇️
athena-forum.eu/take-action/yo… “Conversion practices” bans are a deceptive label. Delegates to the CoE are your national MPs. Many are unaware of the consequences. Tell them why this resolution does lasting harm under the guise of human rights. We’ve prepared a briefing you can share:
