Geographic Distribution of Conversion Therapy in Canada

Sexual orientation or gender identity or expression change efforts (SOGIECE), also known as “conversion therapy”, refers to any practice designed to change, deny, or discourage one’s feelings of sexual attraction to members of the same gender; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and/or queer (LGBQ) identity; non-conforming gender expression; or gender identity that differs from sex at birth. The objective of the research is to conduct a geospatial analysis tracking the location of conversion therapy practices in Canadian provinces, territories, and municipalities. Findings will help inform policies to eliminate these discredited practices harming thousands of LGBTQ2S+ individuals. TEAM Amrit Tiwana
