For Women Scotland v The Scottish Ministers

Explore the UK Supreme Court’s ruling on sex and gender.

In this episode we unpack the UK Supreme Court’s recent judgment in For Women Scotland v Scottish Ministers - a landmark case that raises urgent questions about the legal definitions of ‘sex’ and ‘woman’ under the Equality Act 2010.

Joined by ⁠Dr Sandra Duffy⁠, ⁠Dr Surabhi Shukla⁠, and ⁠Dr SJ Cooper-Knock, we explore the legal reasoning behind the judgment, its implications for trans and non-binary people, and how it intersects with both UK and international human rights law.

We also examine the role of the so-called ‘gender-critical’ movement, challenge prevailing myths around single-sex spaces, and reflect on what this ruling means for the future of gender equality and trans rights in the UK.

Whether you’re a legal professional, activist, or curious listener, this episode offers a rights-based perspective on where we go from here.
