A report researched and written by 6Rang uncovers the truth of the widespread use of conversion therapy against LGBTI+ in Iran.

\"\"<\/div>\n
Gathering data from 210 participants, 6Rang has demonstrated the realities faced by LGBTI+ people today. The report shows a shocking account of the youngest LGBTI+ individuals being forced or encouraged into conversion therapy by family members, friends, teachers, doctors, and other influential parties.<\/div>\n
Conversion therapy for sexual orientation and gender identity is banned in many countries across the world. In fact, it is considered a form of medical abuse and torture. In Iran, it is a systematic issue, and its promotion begins at the highest levels of the Islamic Republic government.<\/div>\n
The report shows that half of the participants underwent or were offered conversion therapy, a third of whom were under 18 at the time. The majority experienced negative side effects that have had life-long complications.<\/div>\n
