Sian Berry MP responds to EHRC single-sex space guidance


by Green Party

Sian Berry MP said:
“While some consideration seems to have been given to the utter impracticality of implementing the previous version of this code, under the demands of the Supreme Court judgment, the Government is still leaving public services, groups and businesses that want to be welcoming to all people with a huge legal minefield to negotiate, and leaving trans people with a real fear of being excluded from essential services and public spaces.

“The draft guidance will mean trans people are barred from services they have previously had no issue accessing, and service providers who want to be inclusive will be putting themselves at legal risk.

“The Government has failed so it is now up to Parliament to reject this document and instead create a legal framework with clear and equal rights for all, which protects trans people’s rightful place in society.”
