UN Special Rapporteur Report on Violence Against Women and Girls in the context of surrogacy

That this House notes the Report of the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women and Girls on the different manifestations of violence in the context of surrogacy which was presented to the UN General Assembly on 10 October 2025; understands that the Special Rapporteur found that the global surrogacy market could reach $99.75 billion by 2033; further notes that the report found that the practice of surrogacy is reinforcing sexist stereotypes, causing psychological, physical, and reproductive violence, is increasing the risk of human trafficking and can amount to a form of slavery; and calls on the Government to implement the Special Rapporteur’s recommendations.
