Why this motion matters: We are delighted to see that this motion has been proposed for Green Party Conference. It seeks to establish a new "Women's Rights" section in the Rights and Responsibilities chapter of the Policies for a Sustainable Society, directly responding to the Supreme Court judgment in FWS v Scottish Ministers (April 2025).This motion will ensure the Green Party recognises that:

• Women and girls face discrimination based on their sex, which is a protected characteristic separate from gender reassignment

• Single-sex services, spaces and provisions are lawful, necessary and proportionate

• Women have the right to female-only spaces including changing rooms, healthcare settings, refuges, and services for survivors of male violence

• Women and girls have the right to organise themselves as a sex and to discuss policies affecting them without harassment

• Lesbians are women who are same-sex attracted and have the right to organise based on this definition

The motion also affirms that pregnancy, childbirth and maternity are sex-specific experiences requiring specific protections, and commits the party to opposing any erosion of women's sex-based rights.

Time is running out - please co-propose today if you can, and share this with other Green Party members immediately.

This represents a crucial opportunity to ensure the Green Party's policies reflect both the law and the reality of women's lived experiences.
Thank you for your urgent support.

In solidarity,
Green Women's Declaration
