RT @LabWomenDec: Lord Cormack speaking on #Amendment214 supporting third spaces for trans-identifying prisoners who need them. The amendment "has as its prime purpose the defence of women and womanhood". https://t.co/eeowrO...

RT @LabWomenDec: Baroness Meyer supporting #Amendment214. Sex and gender are not interchangeable. Allowing males to serve sentences in women's prisons is "barking mad... The dangers and risks are obvious."
RT @LabWomenDec: Lord Morrow supporting #Amendment214 makes the point that 2019 data is out of date. Women have the right not to be subject to degrading treatment which is arguably at threat when they are subjected to the requirement to share ...
RT @LabWomenDec: "Female offenders report disproportionately high rates of violence and abuse... the presence of any offender of the male sex may have a traumatising effect regardless of the offence committed." #Amendment214
RT @LabWomenDec: Lord Morrow supporting #Amendment214. "It surely follows that women's prisons should be single-sex facilities to preserve as far as possible the safety, privacy and dignity of women."
