Switzerland’s government backs a nationwide conversion therapy ban. A federal report published on 4 September endorses outlawing the widely discredited practice countrywide, catching up with its own cantons: Neuchâtel banned it first in 2023, Valais and Vaud followed, and Bern and Geneva are weighing their own prohibitions. No national legislation yet, but federal backing means it’s only a matter of time.
