Victor Madrigal-Borloz is a Costa Rican lawyer and the UN Independent Expert on protection against violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Earlier this year, he published a report that called for a global ban on conversion therapy. Our federal government here in Canada is moving forward with amendments to the Criminal Code to effect such a ban, and in this episode Victor highlights why we need both domestic and international action.

Victor will be appearing in two online panel discussions with EquiTalks on October 21st and 22nd. For more information, see here.
