New MBBS syllabus shows lesbianism, sodomy as sexual offences, sparks row

The Morning Standard

|

September 02, 2024

THE MBBS students pursuing the course in the 2024 academic year will be taught that sodomy and lesbianism are unnatural sexual offences and transvestism is a sexual perversion along with fetishism, voyeurism, sadism, necrophagia, masochism, exhibitionism, frotteurism and necrophilia.

- KAVITA BAJELI-DATT

Proposed by the National Medical Council (NMC), the revised MBBS curriculum has sparked controversy, with activists arguing that it does not adequately safeguard the rights of individuals with disabilities and those who identify as LGBTQ.

Dr Satendra Singh, a prominent disability activist, has expressed his dismay with the revised guidelines, arguing that they have regressed the progress made in recent years towards the inclusion of people with disabilities and LGBTQ rights.
