NEW: Why this is not about “safe spaces” Sir Keir Starmer keeps talking about “safe” spaces instead of “single-sex” spaces. The Equality Act provides for “single and separate sex services”, which encompass everything from toilets, changing rooms and showers to sex-specific healthcare clinics, support groups for women and men and women’s refuges. These provisions allow services to be provided on the basis of sex: divided between “male” and “female”, not between “safe” and “unsafe”. Talking about “safe spaces” for women does not reflect the Equality Act and gives the impression of something else altogether – rare, specialist spaces, for women at their most vulnerable, not the everyday spaces that women rely on for privacy, dignity and inclusion.
