Russia has introduced a draft law aimed at preventing citizens from countries that provide the legal possibility of sex change from adopting children within their territories.
This proposal was put forward in the Russian Duma, where the government announced it through the council’s official electronic system.
This step comes at the initiative of some prominent members of Parliament, including Vyacheslav Volodin, Speaker of the Duma, and his deputies Pyotr Tolstoy, Irina Yarovaya and Anna Kuznetsova.
The members stressed that the proposed new law seeks to protect Russian children from the possibility of adoption by individuals belonging to countries that adopt policies that allow sex change, whether through medical intervention or legal changes in official documents.
The explanatory memorandum for the project indicates that the aim of these amendments is to ensure that Russian children are not adopted by citizens of countries belonging to NATO in particular, given that the majority of these countries allow sex change.

Russia also considers transgenderism a “mental disorder” and not a legitimate gender identity. Sexual transformation is often described in official and media discourse as a threat to values. Traditional and family.
There are laws in Russia prohibiting “propaganda of homosexuality,” which also affects the transgender community.
