NEW ZEALAND The proposed Bill does not specify the settings to which it applies, however, it defines conversion practices as those “directed towards a person because of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression; and performed with the intention of changing or suppressing their sexual orientation, gender 16 identity, or gender expression”. This may suggest that the ban is applicable in all settings, however, the Bill’s “narrow” wording and lack of clarity has been criticised by the NZ Conversion Therapy Action Group (CTAG).
