Edinburgh Council vote to force EWA to accept males

I'm sorry, I can't seem to copypaste.

The motion was to write to EWA to review funding, write to them and urge them to reconsider. I don't know what the amendments were.

That is what you'll be remembered for, Alex Staniforth you horror of a human being. Trying to defund a women's refuge.

“Council:

1.     Notes with concern that Edinburgh Women’s Aid have confirmed that they do not allow trans women - even those with a Gender Recognition Certificate - into their group therapy or refuge spaces.
   

2.     Notes that Edinburgh council has repeatedly reasserted that Edinburgh is an inclusive and welcoming city to LGBTQ+ people, and that this must include supporting people facing violence and abuse.
   

3.     Therefore resolves that Edinburgh council shall review its future SLAs and contracts with service providers offering support to people facing domestic abuse and sexual violence to make it clear that we expect services to be fully trans inclusive, in line with our position on LGBTQ+ equality, but always accepting that they must act within the law.
   

4.     Resolves that the leader of the council should write to Edinburgh Women’s Aid encouraging them to reverse their policy position and provide comprehensive services to trans women.
   

5.     Additionally, requests a briefing note for all Elected Members within one cycle setting out the current support that is available for trans and non-binary people facing domestic abuse in Edinburgh, and any identified gaps in this provision.”
