Gregory's ServerThere is a citizens initiative for achieving a ban on all LGBTQ+ targeted conversion therapy practices across all member states of the European Union. However for this initiative to progress, there is a requirement for **1 million** signatures in order for the commission bring it before the EU parliament for debate. The collection period for signatures ends 17 May 2025.
To support a European Citizen's Initiative, you need to meet the following criteria:
- You need to be an EU national
- You must be old enough to vote in European Parliament elections (18 in most countries but some lowered the age to 16 for ECIs as shown in the following: https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/data-requirements_en
If you have any other questions, they might get answered in the FAQ at https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/how-it-works/faq_en#Giving-support

@Pheebe that link doesn't seem to work right ...
@Pheebe "The European Parliament has strongly condemnedall forms of discrimination against LGBTI people, including LGBTI conversion 'therapies'. Moreover, it has also made repeated calls on the Member
States to ban such practices."
@Pheebe Why is there a citizens initiative if the EU already has issued such ban ?
