World leaders criticize gender ideology at UN

Several world leaders criticized gender ideology and United Nations activism during the high-level debate of the General Assembly.

President Trump told world leaders that it is unacceptable for UN human rights officials to criticize the United States for enforcing immigration laws and protecting children from transgender-related issues. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan described global gender neutrality policies as a siege against children and the traditional family, which he defined as an institution formed by a man and a woman.

President Keiko Sofía Fujimori Higuchi stated that international interference in domestic politics threatens democracy. She noted that agendas imposed on Peru and other Latin American countries have divided societies, eroded democracy, and weakened the family institution.
