Equality bill could ‘effectively eradicate’ female-only spaces in NSW

Women’s Forum CEO Rachael Wong reveals her concerns with the equality bill being introduced in NSW parliament which could “effectively eradicate” female-only spaces. Independent MP Alex Greenwich introduced the bill to the state parliament in August 2023 which is set to be debated on 8 February. “Men who identify as women will be able to have that legally recognised in law,” Ms Wong said. “And be able to access for example – female prisons, bathrooms, changing rooms, refuges, all those kinds of things. “There won’t be anything women can do to stop them from being included in those, what should be, female-only spaces.”
