Will "conversion therapy" soon be banned?
Marlène Schiappa announced Monday that she was entrusting Miviludes with a mission "aimed at explaining, exemplifying and quantifying the phenomenon, by analyzing in particular its dimension of sectarian drift".
The "conversion therapy", which the Minister in charge of Citizenship described as "unworthy" in her press release, aim to make lesbian, gay, bi and trans people heterosexual.
The interministerial mission for vigilance and the fight against sectarian aberrations will have to formulate, within a month, "operational proposals to perfect the means of fight put in place against these practices", specifies Marlène Schiappa.
"Conversions" practiced by religious groups
Calls are increasing in France to demand a law banning "conversion therapy" practiced by religious groups.
LREM deputy Laurence Vanceunebrock tabled a bill to this effect but which has not yet been examined.
It is difficult to know how many people have been subjected to these practices.
"Dozens and dozens of testimonies have come out", recently assured Timothée de Rauglaudre, co-author of the book "God is love" and of the documentary "Homotherapies, forced conversion".
Miviludes, an organ for combating sectarian aberrations attached to the Ministry of the Interior, will be assisted by the assistance and intervention unit in matters of sectarian aberrations (CAIMADES), attached to the Central Office for the Suppression of Violence to people (ORCVP), and by the Central Office for the fight against environmental and public health attacks (OCLAESP).
