Cambridge City Council Motion October 2020

The resignation of Kevin Price in October 2020 alerted women to the fact that Cambridge City Councillors had passed a motion that essentially redefined the legally recognised term ‘woman’ from ‘female of any age’, to a legally undefined, interchangeable term where ‘woman’ is something based on gender identity or gender expression and includes some men while excluding some women. 

​

Cambridge City Council stated the motion will have no impact on policies. 

​

CambsWomen Together are dubious about this assertion; therefore, it is our aim to challenge the City Council to ensure the legal definition of woman is upheld and women’s single-sex protections, as set out in the Equality Act 2010, are maintained.
