Stand Up for Women and Girls
Women's spaces are for women. It shouldn't be complicated.
But the Sex Discrimination Act does not define what a woman is, putting women's protections at risk in sport, gyms, prisons and domestic violence shelters.
The Federal Court's Giggle for Girls ruling proved Australia’s laws aren’t fit for purpose.
The Sex Discrimination Act fails to protect women’s spaces as Australians expect.
Nationals MP Alison Penfold has a bill to fix it: by restoring sex-based protections for women and girls, reinstating the legal definition of a woman and defining biological sex in the Act, to protect women’s services, spaces and activities.
Sex is a biological reality and our laws should reflect that reality.
We, the undersigned, call on the Federal Parliament to support Alison Penfold's Bill and restore protections for women and girls in law.
