This time last week we were in the opening plenary of #Ed4WomensLib. Chaired by @ProfAliceS of @UCLwomenslib, we were welcomed by @ProfessorBlitz on behalf of @ucl @IOE_London
We then had the privilege of hearing the brilliant @akuareindorf speak about women's rights, human rights, free speech and academic freedom #Ed4WomensLib
Our opening plenary was rounded off by the very impressive @joannaccherry MP KC. #Ed4WomensLib

Thank you to all our speakers, chairs, workshop organisers, volunteers and attendees. If you missed the conference we hope you will enjoy the films from the event we are releasing today and in the coming week. If you were there, we hope you enjoy the record #Ed4WomensLib

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.

#moreincommon #SexMatters #FairPlay 1/n
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

Our campaign is routinely misunderstood and misrepresented – most recently today in statements made during the Allison Bailey tribunal. You can find out all about us, and what we are campaigning for here womansplaceuk.org 1/6
There was however considerable laughter here at WPUK at the idea that Pink News is a reputable news source. We have had cause to challenge their representation of the ‘news’ - for example their ‘reporting' on our Brighton meeting in 2019 womansplaceuk.org/2019/09/26/pnk… 2/6
Or their ‘reporting’ of the donation made to us by Lush in 2020. Our experience of their ‘journalism’ means that we do not consider Pink News to be a legitimate source of news and we never link to their site.

THREAD: We have now published our submission to the Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee on the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill. womansplaceuk.org/2022/05/24/wpu… /1
.@scotgov "has repeatedly been presented with serious, well-founded concerns about the potential impact of introducing a self-declaration model of legal sex change on women’s sex-based rights, first in its 2017 consultation and more recently in its 2019 consultation." /2
"In spite of that, its proposals to reform the Gender Recognition Act (GRA) 2004 – in the form of the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill – have barely changed in almost five years. The Government has made no serious attempt to engage with the concerns raised." /3
