Labour has completely abandoned women's rights, former EHRC chief claims
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"the former head of the equalities watchdog has claimed. Kishwer Falkner, former chief of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), criticised the party for not publishing statutory guidance after a Supreme Court ruling in April judged that, for the purposes of the Equality Act 2010, the words woman and sex refer to a biological woman and biological sex."
"Baroness Falkner, who was appointed under the previous Conservative government, said: What really depresses me about the current state of the Labour Party is that they seem to have completely abandoned women's rights. The traditional party of rights, in my 40 years in this country, was the Labour Party. The party of feminism. I was mentored by a former, very senior, Labour woman, Shirley Williams."
Coverage ranges from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, with journalists deployed to report on developing stories and investigate financial and political matters. The Independent produces documentaries such as 'The A Word' and maintains free access to reporting by refusing paywalls, relying on donations to fund on-the-ground journalism. Labour has not published statutory guidance following a Supreme Court ruling that for Equality Act 2010 purposes defines 'woman' and 'sex' as biological. Kishwer Falkner, former chief of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, accused Labour of abandoning women's rights and leaving women and transgender people in a grey zone.
