"Cures that Kill" - a regional IDAHO campaign
A coalition of groups from 12 countries in Latin America denounces the "Cures that Kill". The campaign, entitled “Cures that Kill,” aims to combat the growing influence of organisations, most of which hold dogmatic religious positions, which promote the idea that sexual and gender diversity can be ‘cured’ through what are labeled “reparative therapies.” Access in this section more information on this campaign, including on activities in the various participating countries, the campaign’s international APPEAL and a list of first signatories, a list of partner organisations and resources to understand the issue. The Appeal is still open for signatures and can be signed HERE TAKE ACTION!
