The Home Secretary rightly points out that nearly all women who make dangerous journeys to the UK are survivors of rape. So why does the Govt. detain women on arrival, let women languish in the asylum system for months and years on end, & close safe routes that support women and children? 1/2

As the March for Life takes place today, a reminder: 9 in 10 people support the right to access an abortion. Anti-abortion voices may be visible, but they are not the majority. The UK remains overwhelmingly supportive of abortion access.
BPAS graphic showing a map of the UK with the statistic: “9 in 10 people support the right to access an abortion.”BPAS graphic stating that public support for abortion access remains strong across the UK and crosses political lines. Support is 94% among Labour voters, 91% among Conservative voters, 95% among Green voters and 86% among Reform voters.BPAS graphic stating: “A loud minority is still a minority.” It explains that anti-abortion voices may be visible, but they do not reflect the views of most people in the UK, with evidence showing broad support for abortion access.BPAS graphic stating that public support for abortion access matters at a time when reproductive rights are being challenged around the world. BPAS says it will continue to defend access to safe, legal abortion care and reproductive choice.

Our code of practice for services, public functions and associations comes into force today. It provides practical guidance on how the Equality Act 2010 applies to services, public functions and associations. Find out more: ow.ly/alIf50Zwrkx
Quote from Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson: 'At the EHRC we want a society where everyone’s rights are respected and realised, so that we can all live well together. Our statutory guidance will help services across the country comply with the Equality Act, protecting service users from discrimination and harassment while reducing the risk of the provider being subject to litigation. 



As Britain’s equality regulator, our work doesn’t end upon publication of this guidance. We monitor compliance with the law and take enforcement action where proportionate and necessary, in line with our well-established regulatory model and decision-making framework.'
