What the petition asks
Launch a review into strengthening legal protections and clearer enforcement against discrimination, harassment and exclusion of trans women and LGBTQ+ people in employment, education, healthcare, housing and public services, and requiring public bodies to follow consistent guidance.
Trans women and LGBTQ+ people still face discrimination, harassment and barriers to services across the UK. We feel current protections are not applied consistently and people often struggle to challenge unfair treatment. Clearer law and stronger enforcement could help prevent harm, improve safety, and ensure equal treatment and dignity in everyday life.
