14.01.2022 Drummond street services and queerspace are celebrating today and wish to express our wholehearted gratitude to the Victorian Government for passing the bill outlawing damaging conversion practices in Victoria. We thank everyone played a role in fighting for and contributing to the Bill. As an organisation who works with children and adult survivors whose lives have been impacted by these outdated and harmful conversion practices, we have seen first-hand how damaging these p...ractices are on the mental health of individuals, families, and friends. We have seen how conversion practices not only impact lives of those still with us, but also how far too many lives have been lost because of damaging practices that have been used to deter people from being who they are. As a part of our practice, we helped reveal during the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, that sexual abuse tactics have appallingly been used as a form of conversion practices. This should never have been okay and am glad for many it will now be a part of history and we can move forward and heal. See more
