Darlington plea for single-sex spaces to protect women’s privacy, dignity and safety

[IwantToRetire]

The "Women’s Privacy, Dignity, and Safety Across Darlington" motion seeks to fully implement recent Supreme Court rulings to ensure that local policies align with the Equality Act 2010's legal definition of sex.

Key resolutions of the motion include:

• Immediate legal compliance: Implementing the Supreme Court ruling across all council services, policies, and commissioned activities.
• Establishment of an EDI Working Group: Forming a specialist group of councillors, staff, and legal experts to review all council provision and ensure the lawful use of single-sex services.
• Clear public guidance: Publishing transparent written guidance for staff and service users on how single-sex spaces will be managed and the legal basis for such provision.
• Comprehensive training: Providing staff and councillors with training on the legal definition of sex, the Equality Act 2010, and the realities of sex-based discrimination and violence.
• Support for strategy: Reaffirming support for the national Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy, aiming to halve violence against women by 2030 through a whole-systems approach.

Guess which Parties the Councillors putting forward this motion are part of!

Conservative and Reform. Looks as though they are filling the gap in common sense left by the others.

I knew before I'd even clicked on the link. Well done those parties - and other parties, take note.

And sadly this means other councils / councillors will not adopt something similar because they dont want to be seen to be linked to either of these parties.

In other words their priorities aren't women, but they party loyalties.

And will only confirm to some members of the voting public that somehow women's sex based rights is a reactionary position to take.

I agree our rights are being used as a political football but the left will look increasingly deranged if they take the opposite position to the stand the right are taking on this one.

It'll will be hard for them to come off looking good, if they decided to push back on what many people, on any side, think of as a reasonable position.

This stand will force the left to clarify their position (which they really hate to do) to all and sundry, so people can clearly see what they're advocating and choose accordingly, one hopes.
I applaud the attempt, I hope it bears fruit. 👏😁✊

Proudly opposing women's safety, dignity and privacy.

Right. I suppose at least they're honest about their serious prejudices and their hatred of women's equality.

In one way you would think they would be ashamed to block this proposal.

But sadly I suspect as I said up thread, they dont really care about women but do care they are not seen to in any way work with Reform.

Its within living memory that issues like abortion were cross party campaigns.

Now it seems, yet again, that women aren't as important as virtue signalling and political purity.
