The Christian Alliance of Evangelical Churches of the Argentine Republic (ACIERA) has expressed concern after an Argentine appeals court temporarily suspended the implementation of Emergency Decree (DNU) 62/2025, which bans hormone treatments for children under 18. ACIERA said numerous medical experts and scientific publications have warned about the potential risks associated with certain hormone treatments when administered during childhood and adolescence, while physical, emotional and psychological development is still underway. Before the decree took effect, Article 11 of the Gender Identity Law allowed children to access hormone treatments and surgical procedures under the conditions and safeguards established by existing law. As a result, the previous version of Article 11 of the Gender Identity Law has been temporarily reinstated until a final ruling is issued. The organizations challenging the decree argue that it limits rights protected under the Gender Identity Law and contend that such a significant policy change should not have been made through an emergency decree.
