Two Shropshire women were among 400 constituents who confronted MPs in Westminster to call for single-sex spaces to be protected.
The pair met their local MP Stuart Anderson, who listened to their concerns over what they call the “erosion” of female-only spaces.
“We wanted all MPs to understand that as a constituent, we are concerned that single-sex spaces, services and sports are being lost, and that something must be done about this. “Myself and Sally explained how we were worried about how female-only spaces and services are being lost. Women and girls need female-only services, spaces, sports and associations for privacy, dignity, fairness and safety. But in practice single-sex provision is being eroded and becoming unavailable.
