Podcast: Tales from the StrasBorg

An inside look at how the Council of Europe vote on “conversion practices” played out in practice.

In this episode of the Peaked podcast, Roísín Michaux interviews Annette Pacey of Athena Forum about what happened when she went to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) to talk to delegates ahead of the vote on a resolution for a ban on “conversion practices”.
