Chile bans public funding for minors' gender transition procedures, first in Latin America.

The Chilean Senate has approved a law banning the use of public funds for gender transition procedures for minors under 18, marking the first such ban in Latin America. The law, which follows scrutiny of the PAIG program aiding over 4,142 children, aims to protect minors from irreversible medical treatments. The government may challenge the law at the Constitutional Court.
