“[Gender identity] suggests that being a woman is somehow connected to sex stereotypes. A lot of women view this as regressive.” Recording gender identity but not sex perpetuates historical exclusion of women from research, paper argues ow.ly/ETu150VeZJ2

The UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, @UNSRVAW Reem Alsalem, welcomes the landmark judgment by the UK Supreme Court on 16 April 2025 in the case of @ForWomenScot Ltd v The Scottish Ministers. 1/2

Sex matters.

Press Statement – For Women Scotland Today, the Supreme Court has confirmed what women across the country already knew. Sex matters. This is a landmark victory, not just for For Women Scotland, but for every woman who has been told to sit down, shut up, and make way. The Court has recognised that women's rights must be based on biological sex, not on self-declared identity. This ruling restores legal clarity and reaffirms the purpose of the protections written into the Equality Act. This win protects all women, including trans-identifying females, by ensuring maternity rights, women-only spaces, and female-focused services are grounded in reality. It puts a clear boundary around what it means to be female in law and pushes back against a men’s rights movement that has tried to colonise womanhood. We thank the brave women who fought this case and the thousands who stood behind them. This is your victory. But the fight isn’t over. We will keep pushing until sex-based rights are not only protected—but respected. #WomenWontWheesht
