Belarus Takes a Stern Step: Pedophiles to Undergo Chemical Castration
Belarus is set to revise the nation’s criminal code to impose chemical castration on convicted pedophiles.
Chemical castration involves administering medication to patients, effectively reducing their sexual desire either permanently or for an extended period. This method is already in place in several countries, including some US states, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Norway, and Sweden, indicating a global trend in employing this form of treatment.
The Belarusian government has reportedly greenlit this measure in an effort to combat child sexual abuse and exploitation more aggressively. This development marks a significant milestone in the nation’s commitment to child protection.
The General Prosecutor’s Office of Belarus disclosed the impending measures, revealing that chemical castration is to be incorporated into the treatment program for pedophiles.
