Russia's bans gender reassignment surgery | DW News

From the creator

Rights groups express concern as Russian President Vladimir Putin signs a law banning all gender affirming procedures, including reassignment surgery, hormone treatments, and changes to gender identity in official documents and public records. The law also voids marriages where a spouse has transitioned and prohibits transgender people from fostering or adopting children. Advocacy groups fear a potential increase in suicides due to this move. The legislation passed without opposition in Russia's parliament, the Duma, and its sponsors justify it as a measure to safeguard Russia's traditions and family values from Western influence.
