INSTAR STATEMENT:

Criminalising the personal behaviour of consenting adults on the basis of their sexual preference is totally contrary to their Human Rights. In our practice we have to help couples with different sexual orientation build their families. Our experience says all these parents also make very successful and strong families.

The world is changing its attitude towards sexual orientation of people either in the form of leniency towards their orientation or legalizing their marriage. We all know that this different sexual orientation has been in India since ancient times as documented in our Epics.

The society has also developed a broader outlook towards this issue. We believe that everybody involved directly or indirectly in empowering basic Human Rights should acknowledge individual sexual orientation as their personal issue and not as a criminal act.

INSTAR - Who we are and our current focus

All members of INSTAR are proud of the work of ICMR in bringing together National guidelines for ART that will guide practice across India in Third Party Reproduction. We are proud to be one of the few countries that will have consistent guidelines for both ART and Third Party Reproduction across the whole country.

As with any complex process the path towards this united view is filled with many voices and opinions’ and this is where INSTAR is focusing its immediate work with:

Advocating for current clients who have engaged in treatment prior to the changes in visa regulations who no longer meet the new visa requirements

Advocating for past clients who have samples stored in India and are unable to proceed with treatment by supporting the ICMR stance on the current draft ART guidelines

And who is INSTAR?
