Sorry, sales for this event have now ended, hope you can join us another time!

This live webinar is to help organisations understand the Supreme Court Ruling on the Equality Act, what it could mean in practice, and how it can be interpreted so organisations can remain trans inclusive.On the 16th of April the Supreme Court ruled that the legal definition of a woman should be based on biological sex, including in the context of the Equality Act 2010. A range of responses to this ruling have since emerged including from the UK Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC). The ruling has understandably generated significant concerns especially amongst the trans and wider LGBTQ+ community. For this reason we are hosting this free online webinar in which we will explore:&nbsp; <ul><li>What this ruling could mean in practice</li><li>How it could be interpreted and how organisations can remain trans inclusive</li><li>What the next steps could be in terms of pushing back against the ruling</li><li>How this ruling can be understood in the broader context of LGBTQ+ rights and equality</li></ul>This session will include a presentation by Andro &amp; Eve’s Gender Awareness Trainers and time to ask questions.&nbsp;Please note: We are not legal experts and this presentation will not provide legal advice.&nbsp;Additionally, we cannot provide guidance about specific situations.

In the ruling, no representation was allowed from trans led organisations nor trans individuals; the people it will affect the most. This moment must be a wake up call for allies to take action, to ensure the UK does not slide backwards in our commitments to creating a fair, equitable and safe society for all citizens. Every person has the right to live safely, with dignity, and free of violence.Access:&nbsp;This session will take place online via Zoom.
