Corrective Rape And Conversion Therapy Exposed, The i Paper

Patrick Strudwick is a Special Correspondent for the i paper, a former LGBT editor of BuzzFeed News, and for 13 years has been exposing conversion therapy. His original undercover investigation, in which he subjected himself to the “treatment”, paved the way to the proposed ban, and more recently he’s revealed how corrective rape is taking place on British soil.

His shortlisted pieces are:

• Conversion therapy: My pastor raped me to try to ‘heal’ my lesbianism. Boris Johnson must ban all gay ‘cures’
• Conversion therapy is an assault on the psyche: what is there to consult on?
• Conversion therapy: The Government’s proposed ban protects ‘therapists’ and fails LGBT victims
