In our view,  obstacles to legal gender recognition constitute institutional gender-based violence. In this context, we believe that engaging with this mandate-holder sends the signal that her narrative is acceptable.

#SOGIE #SRHR #sexualrights

SRI understands #GBV to go beyond interpersonal violence and to also include the whole gamut of economic, social, psychological and political structures and norms that maintain binary gender categories and roles.

We told the Special Rapporteur that we fundamentally reject her arguments seeking to pit ‘women’s rights’ - for instance, the right to access shelters for survivors of violence - against ‘trans rights’, and to treat them as separate or competing.

#SOGIE #SRHR #sexualrights

The Special Rapporteur’s position clearly undermines trans rights and contradicts established human rights standards and her own mandate - all in the name of feminism.

Whilst at the time it was considered world-leading, it has now fallen far behind international best practice and human rights standards. We call on the #UK Government to revise the Gender Recognition Act.

"The 2019 #SWS survey added that 60% of Filipinos agree that the #LGBT community experience discrimination and 55% are in favor of passing the law protecting their rights. But there are reservations with this support: 47% think #transgenders shouldn’t be allowed in female restrooms and 48% do not agree that they should be allowed to change their official documents"
