The European Commission is weighing next steps toward banning conversion therapies across the European Union, but officials say the process will take time. So far, only eight EU countries have outlawed the widely condemned practices. During a public hearing, Moozová, Directorate-General for Justice and Consumers, said, “There is nothing to cure. These therapies are based on a mistaken idea that people are sick. They are not. It is an attack on dignity.” An ILGA report found a quarter of LGBTQ+ people faced such “therapy.” With 1.25 million signatures backing the initiative, results of a new Commission study are expected in early 2027.
