UN report calls on governments to prohibit ‘gender transition’ for children

A new report from the United Nations’ Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls warns that countries are failing to address both persistent and newly emerging forms of sex-based violence, including those that relate to gender ideology.

On 25 June 2025 Reem Alsalem, the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, presented Sex-based violence against women and girls: new frontiers and emerging issues (A/HRC/59/47).

The official OHCHR page is the source. We Speak Truth carried Catholic Herald coverage that the report warns countries are failing to address sex-based violence tied to gender ideology, and that it urges governments to reaffirm legal protections for women and girls based on female biological sex.

This is a Special Rapporteur report, not a vote of the General Assembly. Read the document. It is not a UN-wide settlement of the opposite claim.
