Declaration

Declaration

We declare that:

  • Women and girls are subject to discrimination on the basis of their sex, and that sex is a protected characteristic under the Equality Act of 2010.


  • Women have the right to discuss policies which affect them free of abuse, harassment or intimidation, and have the right to use the language which specifically refers to the anatomy of their biological sex.


  • Women have the right to maintain their sex-based protections, as set out in the Equality Act 2010. These include female-only spaces such as changing rooms, hospital wards, sanitary and sleeping accommodation, refuges, hostels and prisons.


  • Women have the right to refuse consent to admit males in single sex spaces or to allow males to deliver intimate services to females, such as washing, dressing or counselling.


  • Children should be able to access safe spaces and by removing single sex spaces and the ability to ask someone’s sex, that this reduces the ability to safeguard young people.


  • Women and girls have the right to participate in single-sex sports, to ensure fairness and safety at all levels of competition.


  • We believe that any individual should be able to dress and express themselves as they wish. However we believe that important distinctions must be made between women and girls, and those who 'identify' as such. If any person can legally be considered the opposite sex then our rights as women and girls can no longer be defended.

We condemn all attempts to undermine or limit the rights of women to self-organise and call upon our Party to actively support these essential freedoms, freedoms already enshrined in law.
