OVER 500 women’s rights activists packed into Bloomsbury Baptist Church in central London earlier this week for award-winning feminist group Women’s Place UK’s 22nd public meeting, held to launch its new manifesto.
The group was formed in September 2017 to discuss the potential impact of changes to the Gender Recognition Act which could allow people to self-identify their sex, and has been holding meetings up and down Britain with a range of speakers drawn from across civil society.
The lively meeting, punctuated by several standing ovations, had to be organised in secret, with the venue announced only on the day to prevent disruption from protesters.
