Sex matters in life and in law.
It shouldn’t take courage to say so.
Clarity about sex is crucial for safeguarding everybody’s human rights.
We are campaigning to establish that sex matters in rules, laws, policies, language and culture. We aim to:
-
1
Establish clarity on single sex services
-
2
Enable people to speak up
-
3
Make debate possible
What we do
- We lobby for clarity on sex in law and institutions.
- We publish research and analysis about human rights.
- We educate people about the law and about their rights.
- We support and mobilise people to speak up.
- We hold organisations accountable.
Our principles

Organisations and governments should be clear about the sexes and where sex matters.
-
Human rights
Everybody’s human rights matter, including private life, freedom of beliefs and speech.

Democracy
