Asamblea — informe para primer debate (Art. 27.1)

Full record

Ecuador has a proposed article.

The Comisión de Protección Integral’s official informe para primer debate/1D-reforma_codigo_de_la_nin%CC%83ez_y_adolescencia.pdf) (5 August 2025) of the unified Código de la Niñez y Adolescencia reform would insert Artículo 27.1: “Queda prohibido cualquier procedimiento médico, farmacológico o quirúrgico que tenga como propósito modificar el sexo biológico de niños, niñas y adolescentes.”

The Pleno took that unified reform in primer debate (sesión 032). Speakers argued for dropping gender ideology and hormonal sex-change treatments. The president sent the text back to commission for the second-debate informe. That is a first-debate file.
