Organisations unite to praise the EHRC

Twenty different campaigning groups from across the UK have come together in a statement of response on the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s recent communications – with the UK Government about conversion therapy and with the Scottish Government about reform of the Gender Recognition Act.

The EHRC has come under fire for its statements from groups that do not recognise that protecting human rights requires balancing the interests of people with different characteristics. Our statement praises them for sticking with their mandate of promoting everyone’s human rights.
