The AAWAA Women’s Advocate

Clarity in controversy: The UK ruling on ‘woman' explained


Listen Later

Emma and Amber break down the UK Supreme Court’s landmark decision defining ‘woman’ as biological sex under the Equality Act—and why the ruling quickly became headline news for Australian women’s advocates.

Explore how this legal clarity stands in sharp contrast to Australia’s confusion, following changes to our own Sex Discrimination Act. We unpack what’s happening on the ground: stories of women being sidelined in crisis shelters, sports, and digital spaces, the growing frustration over vague laws, and the urgent call to restore sex-based protections.
