We need to protect our children.
We have begun to consider a bill that would establish a ban on adoption or guardianship for citizens of foreign countries where gender reassignment is allowed.
The proposal to make such a decision found wide support. We discussed it with you earlier.
This will be the right and logical step within the framework of Russian state policy aimed at protecting traditional values and childhood.
Before this, we made decisions to ban the promotion of non-traditional sexual relationships, pedophilia, and gender reassignment.
The introduced legislative initiative involves the denial of adoption or guardianship of children from Russia to citizens of: Australia, Austria, Argentina, Belgium, Britain, Germany, Denmark, Iceland, Spain, Italy, Canada, Norway, Finland, Switzerland, Estonia and other countries where gender reassignment permitted either through medical intervention or as a result of changes to identity documents.
It is extremely important to eliminate the possible dangers of gender reassignment that adopted children in these countries may face.
In Europe and the United States of America, gender reassignment procedures have a steady upward trend, as they are stimulated by states. In the USA, the number of such operations increases annually by 12% and amounts to tens of thousands . These include medical interventions for adolescents. In Europe, gender reassignment is most common in Germany and the Netherlands.
The law being passed will help us protect children.
