Good Law Project forces EHRC to backtrack…

GOOD LAW Project Dear Christine, After the Supreme Court's transphobic decision, the EHRC's rushed interim update unleashed chaos with its blunt declaration that organisations had to offer "single sex toilets". This isn't just transphobic, it's unlawful. So we started proceedings against the EHRC and their botched guidance. Today, the commission has got back to us, saying the update was only "some observations" and rowing back on its demand for single-sex toilets. Put simply, it's abandoned its previous position that employers are obliged to provide single- sex toilets. But this is not the end. We are ready to argue before the High Court that even the EHRC's new position is wrong - if an employer chooses to provide separate facilities for men and women it doesn't need to provide them on the basis of sex assigned at birth. You can read more about it on our site. We can only hold powerful organisations like the EHRC to account thanks to your support. Thank you for standing with us. In solidarity, Jo, Good Law Project
