The Women's Rights Party says it wants to change laws that it believes reduce protections based on biological sex. It wants to repeal self-identification rules, remove 'gender identity' from legislation, and make sure women and girls have single-sex spaces. It also wants to be a loud voice in politics for women whose interests it says have been ignored.
“The Women's Rights Party opposes the inclusion of "gender identity and gender expression" as a protected ground for discrimination in the Human Rights Act 1993.”
“As a registered democratic political party that is advocating strongly for the interests of women and children, we are an organised force for change.”
“On our agenda is repeal of sex self-ID, removal of "gender identity" from Legislation, prostitution reform, opposition to moves to liberalise surrogacy, and opposition to so-called "hate crime" legislation.”
