WPUK Statement in solidarity with Australian women.

womansplaceuk.org/2023/03/18/wpu…

This statement is in response to reports from Australia of members of the far-right National Socialist Network attending a Let Women Speak event in Melbourne today. 1/13
We stand in solidarity with women’s right to speak about the issues that affect them without the threat of violence. 2/13
We also stand in solidarity with Australian left feminists who have asked for clear differentiation to be made between women’s fight for sex-based rights and the organised far-right. 3/13

Introduction by @rebelyarns. It's important and necessary for feminists to discuss strategy. Where better than FiLiA. #WPUKFiLiA.
We are making a space for respectful disagreement. It's a skill to be able to disagree well - let's not waste the opportunity. #WPUKFiLiA
Pragna Patel introduced. She's talking about the circumstances we find ourselves in #WPUKFiLiA. The rise of the far and religious right.

Thread:

We are hopeful that the discussion on issues around sex and gender is opening up. Such discussion is essential if we are to find solutions that meet the needs, and uphold the rights, of everyone.

Since November 2017, Woman’s Place UK has organised 30 public events and nearly every one has been hosted in the face of substantial obstacles including aggressive and intimidating protests. womansplaceuk.org/2021/10/27/rec…
The intimidation of women meeting to discuss their rights has gone largely unchallenged and so has been allowed to grow. The failure of civic and political society to facilitate this important debate demonstrates an abject failure to adhere to the Equality Act and the PSED. /3
