Joint Statement on Protecting Children from Gender Ideology

17 March 2025

This joint statement has been endorsed by over 70 organizations from across five continents.
Mr. President,
As the most vulnerable members of society, children deserve unwavering care, protection, and support. It is our collective responsibility to create an environment that enables their full development while safeguarding their mental and physical integrity. Yet today, in many countries, the pervasive influence of gender ideology undermines this imperative.
Under the guise of promoting diversity and inclusion, children in critical developmental stages are taught that they may have been born in the wrong body, instilling confusion and emotional distress instead of self-worth and acceptance. Worse, educational institutions actively facilitate or engage in children’s so-called ‘gender transition’, often without their parents’ consent or knowledge.
Moreover, in the name of so-called ‘gender-affirming care’, vulnerable children who experience discomfort with their bodies are rushed onto an irreversible path of lifelong medicalization. Under widely discredited standards of care, chemical and even surgical mutilation procedures are carried out with no regard for underlying psychological conditions and documented long-term risks. Meanwhile, concerned parents are misled, emotionally blackmailed into consenting, or outright excluded from these life-altering decisions.
No longer, Mr. President, can this Council remain silent while these egregious abuses persist!
A society that exposes children to irreparable harm while stripping parents of their rightful role does not act in the best interests of children—it fails them utterly. We urge all States and the United Nations to put an immediate end to this radical agenda and prioritize ethical and evidence-based care over poisonous ideology.
Our children’s future demands nothing less.
Thank you.
