Respect My Sex: Campaign update

We hope you have seen some of the amazing media coverage the “Respect My Sex if you Want My X” local election campaign has had since it was launched. It has been on the front page of the Mail, a feature story in the Times and then a front-page boost in the Times for JK Rowling and the ladies who lunch!

Heather Binning, Helen Joyce and Caroline Ffiske were interviewed on GB News about the campaign

Rosie Duffield MP spoke about it on Woman’s Hour last week too.

Politicians of every party are beginning to recognise that they cannot continue to duck this issue.

Up and down the country, women and men are taking the chance to ask politicians questions on the doorstep, starting with: “Can you tell me what a woman is?”

And Women’s Rights Network groups are organising stalls and giving out leaflets in their local high streets.

Get involved in the campaign Talk to campaigners and candidates when they come to your doorstep – tell them why you are concerned and ask them our four questions:.

Can you tell me what a woman is?

Will you ensure that our local authority uses the clear concept of sex in its policies?
