Communists call for protection for women's spaces
COMMUNISTS called for protection of women's spaces and preservation of "separate spaces and distinct services to protect women from violence and abuse" today.
The party's biennial congress said that women's rights won over decades of struggle were "under sustained ideological attack," thanks to the "growth and ascendancy of neoliberal philosophy across a range of intellectual fields."
It adopted a resolution expressing concern at "the divisive debate around self-identification which conflates ‘sex' and 'gender' which could threaten the rights of women and girls" and committed members to fight for a wider understanding of these problems in the labour movement.
