- Vor der Präsentation ihres Berichts vor der UN-Generalversammlung nahm die UN-Sonderberichterstatterin für Gewalt gegen Frauen und Mädchen, Reem Alsalem, an einer hochrangigen UN-Veranstaltung teil.
- Dort verurteilte sie die Praxis der Leihmutterschaft und erklärte, dass sie Frauen und Kinder kommodifiziere – also zu Waren mache.

NEW YORK CITY (8. Oktober 2025) – In der vergangenen Woche sprach die UN-Sonderberichterstatterin für Gewalt gegen Frauen und Mädchen, Reem Alsalem, bei einer Veranstaltung der Generalversammlung der Vereinten Nationen offiziell gegen die Praxis der Leihmutterschaft. Sie erklärte: “[Leihmutterschaft] ist eindeutig verantwortlich für das Verursachen von weitverbreiteter Gewalt, Missbrauch und Ausbeutung von Frauen und Kindern.“
Alsalem hat ihren neuesten Bericht am 10. Oktober vor der UN-Generalversammlung vorgestellt. Darin fordert sie ein weltweites Verbot aller Formen der Leihmutterschaft und warnt, dass diese Praxis “von Ausbeutung und Gewalt gegen Frauen und Kinder, einschließlich Mädchen, geprägt ist.“
Der Bericht fordert die Staaten auf, ein rechtlich verbindliches internationales Instrument zu verabschieden, das alle Formen der Leihmutterschaft verbietet, und drängt auf sofortige Maßnahmen, um die Beauftragung von Kindern sowie deren Vermittlung durch Leihmutterschaftsagenturen und -kliniken unter Strafe zu stellen, ihre Werbung zu verbieten, Frauen, die bereits in Leihmutterschaftsvereinbarungen eingebunden sind, durch rechtliche Unterstützung und psychosoziale Dienste zu schützen und sicherzustellen, dass die Rechte der Kinder auf Identität, Fürsorge und Schutz gewahrt werden.
„[Leihmutterschaft] ist eindeutig verantwortlich für das Verursachen von weitverbreiteter Gewalt, Missbrauch und Ausbeutung von Frauen und Kindern.“
– Reem Alsalem, UN-Sonderberichterstatterin über Gewalt gegen Frauen und Mädchen
Veranstaltet von der italienischen Regierung, findet die Veranstaltung vor dem Hintergrund einer wachsenden internationalen Bewegung zum Verbot der Leihmutterschaft statt. Im Jahr 2024 wurde Italien das erste Land, das Leihmutterschaft sowohl im Inland als auch im Ausland verboten hat. Im vergangenen Monat verabschiedete die Slowakei eine Verfassungsänderung, die diese Praxis untersagt.
„Leihmutterschaft sollte nicht nur im Inland verboten werden, sondern auch auf internationaler Ebene angegangen werden“, sagte Eugenia Rocella, italienische Ministerin für Familie, Geburtenrate und Chancengleichheit. „Die italienische Regierung ist überzeugt, dass … bestehende internationale Abkommen zum Schutz der Rechte von Frauen und Kindern aktualisiert werden sollten, um Leihmutterschaft ausdrücklich als eine Praxis zu benennen, die die Würde untergräbt und Ausbeutung mit sich bringt.“
Der Bericht beschreibt, wie Leihmutterschaft Kinder absichtlich von ihren Müttern trennt, natürliche mütterliche Bindungen zerstört und ihre Rechte auf Identität, Fürsorge und Schutz vor Gewalt untergräbt. Er betont außerdem, dass selbst „altruistische“ Leihmutterschaftsvereinbarungen sowohl Frauen als auch Kindern schaden, indem sie menschliches Leben als Ware behandeln.
„Ein grundlegendes Problem der Leihmutterschaft liegt in der vertraglichen Festlegung der Trennung zwischen einer Frau und dem Kind, das sie austrägt, was das Risiko birgt, das Kind als passives Objekt einer Vereinbarung zwischen Erwachsenen oder als Handelsgut zu behandeln“, heißt es in dem Bericht. ADF International, das an der Veranstaltung teilnahm, begrüßt den Bericht als einen Meilenstein für die weltweite Bewegung zur Beendigung der Leihmutterschaft. Bei der Veranstaltung im Vorfeld der Präsentation betonte die juristische Organisation die Notwendigkeit sofortiger Maßnahmen der Staaten, um Leihmutterschaft zu verbieten.
„Leihmutterschaft beruht auf einem System der Gewalt, das sowohl Frauen als auch Kinder entmenschlicht. Die Staaten müssen eine koordinierte internationale Antwort entwickeln, um die schwerwiegenden Menschenrechtsverletzungen zu beenden, die dieser Praxis innewohnen“, sagte Giorgio Mazzoli, Direktor der Rechtsabteilung für die Vereinten Nationen bei ADF International „Wir würdigen die Sonderberichterstatterin dafür, dass sie die Schäden dieser ausbeuterischen Industrie aufgedeckt hat, und fordern die Regierungen weltweit auf, sich zu vereinen, um Leihmutterschaft in all ihren Formen und auf allen Ebenen zu beenden – einschließlich der Verabschiedung eines UN-Abkommens, das die Praxis weltweit verbietet.“
Die Organisation gehörte zu den Initiatoren eines Schreibens der Zivilgesellschaft zur Unterstützung des Berichts der Sonderberichterstatterin, das von über 180 NGOs unterzeichnet wurde und den Appell an die Staaten bekräftigt, Leihmutterschaft weltweit zu verbieten.
Hintergrund
Der Bericht der UN-Expertin beschreibt die globale Leihmutterschaftsindustrie als einen rasant wachsenden Markt, der im Jahr 2023 auf 14,4 Milliarden US-Dollar geschätzt wurde und bis 2033 voraussichtlich 96,6 Milliarden US-Dollar erreichen wird. Trotz ihrer lukrativen Natur fließt der überwiegende Teil der Gewinne an Agenturen und Vermittler, während Leihmütter die Hauptlast schwerwiegender körperlicher, emotionaler und finanzieller Risiken tragen.
Frauen, die sich einer Leihmutterschaft unterziehen, sind häufiger von Schwangerschaftskomplikationen, Depressionen und posttraumatischen Belastungsstörungen betroffen. Viele sind Zwang, Ausbeutung und invasiven medizinischen Eingriffen ausgesetzt, und selbst „altruistische“ Vereinbarungen beinhalten oft die Trennung von Kindern und ihren Müttern, die Kommerzialisierung der reproduktiven Fähigkeiten von Frauen und die Vorrangstellung der Wünsche von Erwachsenen gegenüber den Rechten des Kindes.
ADF International bleibt dem Schutz der Würde des menschlichen Lebens sowie dem Schutz von Frauen und Kindern vor Ausbeutung verpflichtet. Die Organisation setzt sich für rechtliche Schutzmaßnahmen ein, um die Leihmutterschaft zu beenden und die Kommerzialisierung menschlichen Lebens zu verhindern.
Rechtliche Situation in Deutschland
In Deutschland ist Leihmutterschaft durch das Embryonenschutzgesetz verboten. Dennoch besteht eine rechtliche Grauzone: Deutsche Staatsbürger können im Ausland Leihmutterschaften in Anspruch nehmen und die dort geborenen Kinder anschließend legal nach Deutschland bringen. Auf Kinderwunschmessen informieren ausländische Agenturen offen über ihre Angebote. Dabei werden die unterschiedlichen Rechtssysteme verschiedener Staaten gezielt genutzt – von der Eizellspende in Spanien über die Befruchtung in der Ukraine bis zur Geburt auf Zypern. Kritiker wie die Publizistin Birgit Kelle sehen darin ein internationales Geschäftsmodell, das Frauen in Armut ausbeutet und die nationale Gesetzgebung umgeht.
Dr. Felix Böllmann, Jurist und Leiter der europäischen Rechtsabteilung von ADF International, betont: “Leihmutterschaft ist mit den Menschenrechten unvereinbar. Wenn wir diese ernst nehmen, müssen wir etwas dagegen tun.“

US State Department Panel Decries Censorship at UN High-Level Week
- Free speech experts raise concerns about the rise of free speech violations across Europe and UK to the UN
- ADF International’s Kelsey Zorzi underscores global threats to free speech, citing EU Digital Services Act.
NEW YORK CITY (Sept 25) – In a significant show of concern, the U.S. State Department hosted a panel discussion at United Nations High-Level week on Thursday. Experts addressed rising global censorship, highlighting the UK and Europe. Kelsey Zorzi, Director of Advocacy for Global Religious Freedom with ADF International, highlighting growing threats to free speech across the world.
“With hundreds of active cases in dozens of countries across six continents, we have a unique vantage point from which a clear picture has emerged: censorship is becoming more aggressive, more coordinated, and more global,” said Zorzi.
“Censorship is becoming more aggressive, more coordinated, and more global."
- Kelsey Zorzi, Director of Advocacy for Global Religious Freedom at ADF International
The panel, on the margins of the UN High-Level Week before the 80th Session of the General Assembly, follows a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee of the US Congress, where ADF International similarly warned US lawmakers of the threat of censorship growing across Europe.
Escalating Censorship Across the World
Zorzi described the state of censorship in the EU as “highly concerning.” She highlighted the case of Päivi Räsänen, a sitting Finnish Parliamentarian facing criminal prosecution for tweeting a Bible verse, now before Finland’s Supreme Court. ADF International is coordinating Rasanen’s legal defence.
Another major concern raised was the reality that Europe is exporting censorship worldwide through the EU Digital Services Act (DSA), including to the United States.
Zorzi stated the following on the censorial impact of the DSA:
“The DSA is a brazen attempt to create a global Censorship Industrial Complex, not only for the EU but for the entire digital world. It is imposed on all platforms used by Europeans, regardless of where those companies are based. Any content found objectionable under EU rules may be banned everywhere.
“While EU regulators have denied that the DSA promotes censorship within Europe or abroad, just this week, in response to investigations carried out by the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, the internet giant Google expressed its own concerns that ‘the DSA may pose [risks] to freedom of expression within and outside of the European Union.’
“We’ve also already seen just how far governments will go in censoring online speech, and there is no reason to believe that EU regulators wielding the enormous bureaucratic power of the DSA would have any more restraint.
“The UK already arrests 12,000 people every year—over 32 people a day—for allegedly offensive online posts. The Brazilian Supreme Court has recently held that digital platforms like X should be held directly liable for posts allegedly constituting “hate speech” if they are not removed, a decision that has led, in part, to the U.S. placing sanctions on Brazilian officials. EU officials have previously even threatened X with massive fines merely for hosting a conversation with then-Presidential candidate Donald Trump.
“In a similar manner to the EU, the UK has embarked on the path of online censorship with the introduction of the so-called ‘Online Safety Act’ which is already being used to censor perfectly legitimate political speech as ‘illegal content’, like the EU’s Digital Services Act the UK’s Online Safety Act gives government regulators power to impose enormous fines on tech companies- which leads to a compliance mindset.”
Zorzi called on governments to take action, stating that, “While the current EU censorship landscape is highly concerning, the weeks ahead are critical, as the DSA comes under mandatory review this November. Many European leaders already have a vice grip on the global public square. Nations and organizations that support free speech anywhere must push back now before that vice grip becomes a chokehold.”

- Executive Order sends „clear message“ that „the rights of women and girls to female-only spaces, including in sports, matter“, says UN Expert
- Reem Alsalem, Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women & Girls, previously warned that permitting males in women’s sports would be incompatible with US international human rights obligations
GENEVA (12 February 2025) – The United Nations Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, Reem Alsalem, has welcomed the US government’s executive order “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sport”. The executive order, issued on 5 February, reinforces the necessity of maintaining sex-based categories in sports to safeguard fairness, safety, and dignity for female athletes.
“This decision reaffirms the importance of maintaining sex-based categories in sports, thereby safeguarding equal opportunities for women and girls,” Alsalem said.
“Most notably, it mandates the preservation of all-female athletic opportunities and locker rooms, ensuring privacy and dignity for women and girls. This executive order sends a clear message that the rights of women and girls to female-only spaces, including in sports, matter,” Alsalem added.
"This decision reaffirms the importance of maintaining sex-based categories in sports, thereby safeguarding equal opportunities for women and girls."
- Reem Alsalem, UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women & Girls
“The US government’s clear stand for women and girls in sport carries tremendous global significance. The executive order commits to advocating for international rules and norms that protect a sex-based female sports category—a pivotal step for fairness and safety in female sports across the globe. Its emphasis on working with the United Nations and international sporting bodies has the potential to restore the right of women and girls to fair competition and safe sporting spaces. As the Special Rapporteur highlights, now the international community must cooperate on this critical human rights issue,” responded Giorgio Mazzoli, director of UN advocacy for ADF International.
The executive order commits the administration to “promote, including at the United Nations, international rules and norms governing sports competition to protect a sex-based female sports category”. The Special Rapporteur welcomed the commitment to advocating for international rules at the UN to protect a sex-based female sports category.
Alsalem previously warned the Biden administration that permitting males in women’s sports would be incompatible with US international human rights obligations. Her report highlighting how “huge numbers” of female athletes have lost opportunities to male athletes garnered viral attention last year.

The Race to Save Girls’ and Women’s Sports is Worth Running
We must keep female sports for women and girls only
Ensuring equal opportunity and fairness is the cornerstone of all sport.
However, local, national, and international policies increasingly allow males who identify as female to compete in sports reserved for women and girls. The whole reason sex-based sports categories exist is to ensure fair competition by accounting for physiological differences, therefore enabling sports to reward genuine merit and excellence.
And yet, gender ideology is playing a significant role in the attempt to erode this biological foundation by claiming that gender identity—how one personally experiences one’s gender—may not necessarily align with one’s biological sex.
This radical ideology argues that each person should be permitted to compete on a sports team that aligns with their gender identity rather than biological sex, contributing to egregious violations of the rights of female athletes when males are allowed to invade their sports and spaces.
Gender Ideology’s Role in Undermining Women and Girls’ Sports
When laws and policies lose touch with the biological reality that men and women are inherently different, it’s women and girls who suffer the most.
Every woman and girl, from aspiring young athletes to seasoned professionals, deserves fair and safe access to spaces dedicated to female athletes. The future of women’s sports—and the opportunity for every girl to dream and compete—depends on this vital commitment to fairness.
A recent story out of San Jose State University in California illustrates the growing concerns around fairness in women’s sports. The university’s women’s volleyball team added a male player to its roster, prompting several other teams to cancel their matches against SJSU. While no official reasons for these forfeits have been given, the implications are clear.
A Matter of Fairness
Dr. Gregory Brown, an exercise science professor, has extensively explored the topic of male advantages in sports. In a white paper, he highlights that male athletes generally have a jumping advantage of approximately 15-20 percent over female athletes. Additionally, males spike the ball with greater speed, giving them a 29-34 percent edge in this area. Moreover, men generally possess greater height and muscle mass, providing clear benefits on the volleyball court.
It’s abundantly clear why female volleyball players wouldn’t want to compete against male athletes.
According to a recent UN report from August 2024, no less than 600 female athletes in 29 different sports have lost in competitions to male competitors. And we know the issue is not simply about medals. It’s about the countless opportunities, including academic and professional, a female athlete forfeits when a male displaces her. It’s also about basic safety, both on and off the playing field.
When female-only spaces such as locker rooms and restrooms are open to males, the privacy, safety, and security of women are compromised at the most basic level.
As debates over fairness and safety in women’s sports intensify, legal and policy frameworks worldwide are being scrutinised more closely. And the demand for clear, principled policies safeguarding female athletes is growing urgent. Thankfully, a bold response is emerging on the international stage.
Calling on Leaders to Ensure Fairness in Girls’ and Women’s Sports
ADF International, alongside our colleagues at Alliance Defending Freedom in the United States, is advocating for the rights of female athletes, standing up for the truth that female sports must be female-only if they are to be safe and fair.
In October, ADF International convened a panel to bring this critical conversation to the UN. Addressing government leaders and UN officials, the event brought together prominent advocates for protecting women and girls’ sports. Among the speakers were former West Virginia State University athlete Lainey Armistead, British Olympian swimmer Sharron Davies, CEO and President of Alliance Defending Freedom Kristen Waggoner, and the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls Reem Alsalem.
Armistead joined a lawsuit to defend a law in West Virginia ensuring that only women compete on women’s sports teams. That lawsuit has passed through the court system, and Alliance Defending Freedom asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case. Joining Waggoner at the UN, Armistead said: “I’m here today because we’ve all seen what happens when males are allowed to compete on women’s teams.
From track to boxing to swimming, it’s demoralising and unfair—and just plain wrong.” Armistead recounted stories of women being sidelined and even injured in these situations. She highlighted that just one male athlete had already displaced nearly 300 female athletes in West Virginia.
Davies underscored that the biological differences between men and women put female athletes at a distinct disadvantage, stressing the need for safety measures in women’s sports. Waggoner, alongside the athletes, affirmed that equality and non-discrimination—especially regarding sex—are core principles of international human rights law. “When female sports aren’t protected,” Waggoner warned, “it does grave harm to women and girls.”
Waggoner concluded with a plea: “Our hope at ADF is that the international community will turn its attention to this critical issue—ensuring women and girls can pursue sporting opportunities should they desire, and protecting female athletes… Our plea to the world is to learn from the mistakes that have been made and that are now being corrected, so that your daughters, so that my daughter, can walk into a future of fairness and safety in sport.”
The International Implications
In 2021, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) revised its guidelines on transgender athletes, aiming to adopt a “more inclusive” approach to sports. However, this shift inevitably raised serious concerns about fairness and safety for female athletes.
In response, several international and national sports federations—including the World Aquatics, World Athletics, World Rugby, and the International Cycling Union—have decided to protect female-only categories. These organisations affirm that biological and physical differences remain relevant to fair competition in sports, so they’ve reinforced these categories to protect competitive balance and safety.
What the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Says
Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights asserts that “all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.” Article 3 of the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women affirms that women are entitled to fully enjoy and be protected in all human rights and fundamental freedoms—whether in political, economic, social, or civil spheres. This includes specific rights such as freedom from discrimination, access to the highest attainable standards of physical and mental health, and protection from torture or any cruel, inhumane, or degrading treatment.
While the Universal Declaration does not directly mention sports, activities related to sports are widely recognised as part of the broader rights to education and cultural participation, as outlined in Articles 26 and 27. These rights affirm that everyone should be able to engage in sports and cultural activities that foster personal growth, community, and equality.
How We Can Ensure Girls’ and Women’s Sports Remains Fair
Establishing female categories has never been about division; rather, it’s about empowering women and girls and creating a fair playing field.
By raising this issue on an international stage, we’re bringing crucial attention to the challenges women and girls face as their sporting opportunities are impacted by the inclusion of males in female sports.
Conclusion: Laws Must Reflect Basic Fairness
We aim to uphold laws that recognise the fundamental biological differences between men and women. Through global alliances and strategic advocacy at both national and international levels, we believe meaningful change is within reach.
At its core, this issue is about protecting the dignity and respect female athletes deserve. We must ensure that the future of women’s sports remains a fair arena where women can compete without facing disadvantages from biological disparities or gender ideology. Protecting these principles is essential to preserving the integrity of female sports for generations to come.
This is a matter of basic human rights, and we must reaffirm, without hesitation, the imperative of safety and fairness in sports for women and girls.

WHO Pandemic Agreement: free speech experts welcome progress as negotiations near conclusion
- Earlier versions of the text required parties to „combat“ or „prevent“ undefined concepts like „misleading information“, „misinformation“, and “disinformation“.
- ADF International spearheaded global advocacy to ensure pandemic treaty upholds freedom of expression.
- Latest negotiating text addresses free speech concerns – vigilance against potential regression crucial as negotiations resume today.
GENEVA (30 April 2024) – The World Health Organisation’s (WHO) Pandemic Agreement, a new international treaty due to be adopted in June, has drawn worldwide criticism for its potential crackdown on freedom of expression as part of pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response. An earlier version required the “management” of so-called “infodemics,” defined as “too much information … during a disease outbreak” causing “confusion” as well as “mistrust” in health authorities, regardless of the veracity of the information in question. A more recent version of the agreement included language mandating parties to “cooperate, in accordance with national laws, in preventing misinformation and disinformation,” essentially granting individual states the discretion to define which information fits within these categories, and potentially censor it.
Global advocacy efforts to protect free speech yielded fruits as the latest proposal for the WHO Pandemic Agreement removed the vague mandates for parties to “prevent” misinformation and disinformation. In a significant shift, the current text no longer contemplates the imposition of potentially sweeping restrictions on freedom of speech to address these phenomena. Instead, it recognizes the importance of building trust and ensuring timely, transparent, accurate, science- and evidence-informed information.
"It is vital that the Pandemic Agreement safeguard freedom of expression against potential censorship threats. We commend WHO Member States for acknowledging the critical importance of government transparency and accountability in sharing pandemic-related information, rather than endorsing arbitrary speech suppression."
- Giorgio Mazzoli, Director of UN Advocacy at ADF International
“Long-awaited development”
“It is vital that the Pandemic Agreement safeguard freedom of expression against potential censorship threats. We commend WHO Member States for acknowledging the critical importance of government transparency and accountability in sharing pandemic-related information, rather than endorsing arbitrary speech suppression. We trust that these advances will be consolidated in the final text without any rollbacks on language protecting fundamental freedoms,” said Giorgio Mazzoli, human rights expert and Director of UN Advocacy at ADF International, who led the legal organisation’s global advocacy effort.
Negotiations continue today
Today marks the resumption of negotiations on the draft text, scheduled to conclude on May 10th. Later next month, the World Health Assembly (WHA) is expected to adopt the agreement, aimed inter alia at strengthening the WHO’s role in preventing, preparing for, and responding to future pandemics.
Over the last months, ADF International warned that the agreement could severely restrict freedom of expression, a fundamental human right that encompasses the right to impart, seek and receive information under international law. ADF International has highlighted the potential human rights implications of the WHO Pandemic Agreement and offered legal advocacy to key stakeholders.
“Freedom of expression, especially during pandemics, is essential to ensure scrutiny and accountability over critical public health decisions. It is imperative that the Pandemic Agreement does not lead to a lowering of existing standards by promoting incursions into free speech in the name of public health, when it is possible for both to be upheld in careful balance. As negotiations near their final stages, Member States must steer clear of any regression in this area,” concluded Mazzoli.
