GPW welcomes the EHRC calling for "the public debate on issues of sex and gender" to move "to a more informed and constructive basis." We in GPW have differing views on this topic but are committed to well-informed and respectful discourse on the subject.

Those of us who support single-sex spaces recognise it's important for the meaning of sex to be clarified so that EA2010 can be correctly applied as it was originally intended. We feel it is vital for females' safety, dignity & fairness that they are protected on the basis of sex.

For some men, a woman in power is threatening & uncomfortable, especially if she is feminist & left-wing. Political violence is a warning. The far-right & fascism are not distant possibilities but encroaching realities we must oppose right now. Light a candle tonight for #JoCox💚

Second, Green Party Policy states that all individuals should have the right to self-determine their gender and we solidly stand behind this. Women’s rights are not in conflict with trans rights and we must work together for the liberation of all oppressed groups.

In the UK, 3 women are killed every 2 weeks. Many had reported their murderers for stalking or domestic violence. During lockdown:.▪️2/3 of women in abusive relationships suffered increased violence from partners.▪️80% more calls to DV helpline. Yet police spend resource on this?.
This morning we seized 2 cannabis plants from an address in Alsager after neighbours reported a strong smell of cannabis. If you notice anything suspicious anywhere around the town please let us know via 101 or 999 in an emergency #alsagerpolice

To clarify back. 1. Concerned parties will be asking to see the legal advice that all GPEW members have paid for . 2. Asking your friends is not sufficient scrutiny.
@GreenPartyWomen To clarify the guidance was checked over by lawyers and @LGBTIQAGreens were consulted.

The first female runner to complete one of the world's toughest races has told the BBC she did it for "women worldwide". Jasmin Paris is one of only 20 people to have finished the Barkley Marathons in Tennessee, USA, since it was extended to 100 miles.

Politicians need to understand the purpose of pre -decision scrutiny. @Ria__Patel should have insisted on legal checks and consulting all relevant groups in the party as per our GPEW constitution.
@CreserDylanGrn GPRC reps cannot write their own version of the Equality Act & expect it to have any legal standing. Moreover, a handful of members imposing guidance on the party is truly undemocratic. This is a lamentable act, not something to celebrate @GreenPartyWomen @GreenFemsUK @natalieben.
