Kiri Tunks Woman's Place UK founder (Chair)

Woman’s Place UK was founded in September 2017 to ensure women’s voices would be heard in the consultation on proposals to change the Gender Recognition Act. We had 5 demands and we didn’t expect the campaign to last more than 3-4 months.

Thanks to the support and actions of thousands of people all over the UK we had a big collective impact on the debate and, while we don’t expect to hear the results of the consultation yet, we know that the government has heard the voices of thousands of women.

At the same time, the debate has exposed the poor state of women’s rights in the UK. We have decided therefore to develop a broader campaign on the foundations we have built.

We will keep up the pressure on the government around the GRA and on councils and organisations to uphold equality law.

But there are other battles we need to fight too.

So we have made some New Year Resolutions to help us broaden the campaign in 2019:

Oh and is there footage of the police not doing their job?

And do we think that protestors - should there be any - would be allowed here (counter demo)?

Fuckwits.

Hope everyone is safe - and I am sure the meeting will be worthwhile.

Seems like some Labour members who wouldn't normal bother to attend a WPUK meeting have attended and been shocked by behaviour of transactivists. (who forced a venue change?)

Follow the hashtag on twitter and ask the police why they aren't protecting women from meeting each other in safety. @sussex_police

Sounds absolute chaos there. Solidarity to those inside. I hope the police are more use when it comes time to leave. Can't believe the venue owners/management will be happy that the police stood back and watched what must have been breach of the police at a minimum and possibly criminal damage if the windows had given way. Absolutely disgraceful behaviour from the police and beyond shameful from the so called activists. Thugs would be a better label from the sound of it.

Unbelievable mob outside the
@WomansPlaceUK
meeting in Brighton tonight, banging and
pounding the windows, the din inside is deafening. Coming in we ran the gauntlet of hostile aggression, this is hate-filled public disorder and the police are not stopping it. #WPUKLab19

Peace! Not police.

Good grief - have just looked at the Twitter stuff - it sounds scary. Hope you who are there are all ok, and that the police up their game and do a bit of actual policing when you leave...

I'm actually frightened about what it's going to be like when we finish and leave. I'm not wearing my running shoes ...

I found a police managed peaceful though noisy protest outside and then on the opposite side of the road extraordinarily scary, so huge respect and sympathies to those inside.

I'm retweeting the incidents to the police and also #Lab19. With safe space rants.

Woman is there an alternative exit?

Ask staff at the venue.

Jeez. It never ends, does it

I hope someone gets excellent video footage of both the protesters and the police.

It does sound really scary but dont forget you are not on your own. There are others there. Some will have experience of dealing with situations like this. ie making sure you dont leave on your own. and so on.

So many people are asking Sussex police via social media to start doing their job that they will not let anything happen to you. As they say the whole world is watching.

I know I am not there but if possible try and get the best out of the meeting.

Dont let the fuckers get you down!

Solidarity sisters

Solidarity to all of you facing this misogynistic abuse. They have certainly shown their true colours. Aided and encouraged by politicians of all flavours, Stonewall, EHRC, Liberty, Amnesty, UN Women... and facilitated by the police.
I hope you are able to stay safe. I'm beyond horrified at what's happening.

Apparently you naughty lot were throwing buckets of waters over the poor wee folx who were minding their own business, having a perfectly peaceful protest.

If you were tut tut tut.

Jesus, just read about this elsewhere.

WTF is wrong with these clowns?

Hope everyone is safe.

Oh goodness just dropped on this via another tweeter who retweeted it. Hope you are all ok. Lots of people are aware of this. xx

Solidarity, sisters. Get home safely.

Hope everyone there is ok woman

Worried for the safety of everyone there

Sussex police are a fucking disgrace. This mob should have been broken up

We're out. Police facilitated big groups out together to walk to station and town centre standing between us and them. I'm home. Hope everyone else safely arrived at destinations. More thoughts later. Vodka time!!!

Very glad to hear it.

If it's any consolation it's now trending in the UK on twitter. Stay safe women, the Uk is looking on. xx

Glad you’re safe woman
