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.

Submission to Victims’ Bill consultation

We agree with the principles set out in the consultation, but we think that victims also have the right to be treated with respect, dignity, sensitivity, compassion and courtesy.
