Petition request
That the House of Representatives defines that "sex" in the Human Rights Act 1993 and any other legislation has the biological meaning.
Petition reason
Speak Up for Women (SUFW) is a feminist organisation seeking to ensure freedoms, safety, language and identities are protected for women and girls in New Zealand. We believe that if "sex" in legislation such as the HRA is interpreted to mean anything other than the biological meaning, women and girls can't rely on sex-based rights to keep them safe and able to participate fully in society. We think women need (some) facilities, services, sports and opportunities that are just for them.
