The UK Supreme Court’s decision on the definition of a woman under the Equality Act 2010 has significant implications for gender rights across the UK, although the Act applies in GB but not in Northern Ireland. This ruling sparks concerns about increased discrimination against transgender individuals.

“The Green Party in Northern Ireland stands firmly in support of transgender rights,” said Mal O’Hara, Party Leader. “We are wary of efforts to define womanhood, as these have historically been used to restrict and marginalise women. It is telling that such scrutiny is rarely applied to definitions of manhood.”

We must continue to advocate for inclusive policies and laws that protect all individuals, regardless of their gender identity. Let’s stand together against discrimination and for a society that values equality, justice, and inclusivity for all.
