The upper house of Russia's parliament unanimously approved legislation banning the adoption of children by nationals from countries that allow gender reassignment, asserting a need to protect these children.
With the newly approved legislation, any person or entity promoting a child-free lifestyle faces significant penalties, highlighting Russia's growing efforts to reinforce traditional family values amidst geopolitical tensions.
Upper house speaker Valentina Matviyenko emphasized that while there are concerns about individual rights related to childbearing, the legislation aims to protect society from 'dangerous phenomena.'
This legislation reflects Russia's increasing move towards conservative legislation, particularly regarding family and social norms, triggered by the ongoing conflict with Western nations.
