The UK’s Supreme Court has ruled that “man”, “woman” and “sex” in the Equality Act 2010 refer to sex, not self-ID or paperwork (gender-recognition certificates). This agreed with our legal interpretation. We have published new guidance and are in the process of updating our publications to reflect the judgment. We are also working to provide answers to the questions we're hearing from supporters and the media. We will publish these as soon as possible.

Woman’s Place UK (WPUK)

Grassroots feminist campaign formed in 2017 by women with backgrounds in trade-union and broader social movements.

Aim was to ensure women’s voices would be heard in the consultation on proposals for self-identification and to uphold single-sex exceptions.

Played a large role in getting government plans to reform the Gender Recognition Act abandoned in England and Wales, after which it evolved into a broader women’s rights campaign.

Public-facing work includes meetings on women’s rights – the harassment these meetings has attracted has been instrumental in raising awareness of the tactics used to silence women speaking about their sex-based rights.
