LIV | 'Definition Of A Woman': UK Supreme Court To Rule On Landmark Challenge | Scotland | N18G

LONDON — The U.K. Supreme Court is poised to rule Wednesday in a legal challenge focusing on the definition of a woman in a long-running dispute between a women's rights group and the Scottish government. Five judges at Britain's highest court are scheduled to rule whether a transgender person with a certificate that recognizes them as female can be regarded as a woman under equality laws. While the case centers on Scottish law, the group bringing the challenge, For Women Scotland (FWS), has said its outcomes could have U.K.-wide consequences for sex-based rights as well as everyday single-sex services such as toilets and hospital wards. What's the case about? The case stems from a 2018 law passed by the Scottish Parliament stating that there should be a 50% female representation on the boards of Scottish public bodies. That law included transgender women in its definition of women. The women's rights group successfully challenged that law, arguing that its redefinition of "woman" went beyond parliament's powers. Scottish officials then issued guidance stating that the definition of "woman" included a transgender woman with a gender recognition certificate. #Woman #female #UK #scotland #Womaninpolitics n18oc_live n28oc_world News18 Mobile App - https://onelink.to/desc-youtube
