SEX-BASED rights clearly matter. And until very recently there has been no open debate about this subject. Now, through the medium of petitions in support of pledges or declarations on women’s sex-based rights, thousands of women and men right across the political spectrum are speaking out about this issue.
Following the launch of the SNP women’s pledge in October, a group of Labour women decided to create a declaration of their own, specific to Labour.
Having enlisted 300 founder signatories, they then launched it on November 12, along with a Facebook page, a Twitter account and a comments section on the petition.
