Sexual orientation and gender identity and expression change efforts (SOGIECE) are deeply harmful, scientifically discredited practices that target vulnerable LGBTQ2 Canadians.
To protect people from this fraudulent, cruel treatment all levels of government should work to undermine the efforts of people and organizations conducting SOGIECE through both legislative bans and positive, affirming programs or campaigns.
Additionally, governments can better support survivors of SOGIECE, as well as funding research and community-led movements aiming to better understand the reach of conversion efforts in Canada.
