We are being asked to link to some of the many films on our YouTube channel so we will try and do that over the next few days. To kick off here are the speeches from A Woman's Place is resolute which launched our New Year Resolutions in 2019 womansplaceuk.org/new-year-resol…
1. Women have the right to self-organise @ruthserwotka
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
We then had the privilege of hearing the brilliant @akuareindorf speak about women's rights, human rights, free speech and academic freedom #Ed4WomensLib
#WPUK was founded in 2017 by grassroots volunteers in response to proposed changes to the Gender Recognition Act. Our campaign aimed to ensure that women's evidenced concerns were heard & our sex-based rights upheld. #WPUKfivetoday

“To make legislation in a climate where women have been silenced, esp women of faith & women of colour? You will never get good legislation” @ProfAliceS
Equalities, Human Rights & Civil Justice Gender Recognition Reform
Prof Alice Sullivan responds to @kevin_guyan previous evidence that social scientists are split on the need of sex based data.
‘Guyan is a research fellow in Theatre Film & TV studies…he does not have peer reviewed work..’
Prof Sullivan's opening statement from today's hearing at the 🏴 parliament 🔻
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
