About us

We’re a core Working Group of women from across the UK who rallied the support of 300 Labour Party activists and supporters to be founding signatories of the declaration.

LWD’s seven point declaration launched in November 2019 to hold Labour to account on women’s sex-based rights. Thousands have now signed and more signatories are welcome.

Who we are

We are dedicated to ensuring that Labour upholds and advances the rights, dignity, and safety of women and girls as a sex-based class.

What we do

We work to ensure that Labour Party policies and practices protect sex-based rights in law, including single-sex services and spaces, the protected characteristic of same-sex sexual orientation, fair participation in sport, safeguarding of gender questioning children, and the right to self-organise and to speak freely.

Women & girls are subject to discrimination & oppression on the basis of their sex. To address this inequality, we need our laws, policies & institutions to be clear that sex matters.
