A recent United Nations report has stirred global debate by calling for the prohibition of gender transition procedures in children. The report emphasizes that allowing minors to undergo gender reassignment may violate children's rights and long-term well-being.
The UN special rapporteur on violence against women also warned that certain aspects of trans activism risk undermining the rights and protections of women, especially in spaces traditionally reserved for females.
The report highlights concerns that gender ideology, when applied indiscriminately, could lead to discrimination against biological women, affecting their access to sports, shelters, and privacy rights.
These findings have sparked international conversations about the balance between protecting transgender rights and safeguarding women’s rights and child welfare.
While some human rights groups oppose the UN's stance, arguing for freedom of gender expression, others support the call for more cautious and evidence-based approaches, especially regarding children.
