DESCRIPTION

A Woman’s Place is Making a Stand

Public Meeting in London

7pm Tuesday 27 February 2018 (Venue to be announced)


Lucy Masoud, Fire Brigades Union Regional Officer

Pilgrim Tucker, Community Activist and Organiser

Megan Dobney, Trade Unionist and Socialist

Steph Pike, Woman's Place UK

In July the government announced a consultation on their proposal to ‘demedicalise’ the process of changing gender, so that people can self-identify as the gender they choose, without any need for a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria.

But what exactly is ‘gender’, and what will be the impact of self-identification on women and on women’s rights?

Will this reform spell the end to single-sex spaces and the provision of single sex services, such as those provided by rape crisis centres and women’s refuges?

Will the changes make it harder to gather accurate data on the pay gap between men and women; on domestic violence against women; and on the health services women require?

Come and have your say on this controversial proposal.

The Woman's Place UK Five Demands:

1. Respectful and evidence based discussion about the impact of the proposed changes to the Gender Recognition Act to be allowed to take place and for women’s voices to be heard;

2. The principle of women only spaces to be upheld – and where necessary extended.

3. A review of how the exemptions in the Equality Act which allow for single sex services or requirements that only a woman can apply for a job (such as in a domestic violence refuge) are being applied in practice;

4. Government to consult with women’s organisations on how self-declaration would impact on women only services and spaces;

5. Government to consult on how self-declaration will impact upon data gathering – such as crime, employment, pay, and health statistics - and monitoring of sex-based discrimination such as the gender pay gap.
