Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Unions To Boycott Labour Women's Conference Over Trans Ban
Caption: Unions To Boycott Labour Women's Conference Over Trans Ban. Several major trade unions have announced they will boycott this year's Labour Women's Conference after the party barred trans women from attending the main conference sessions. Labour says the decision is intended to comply with equality laws introduced after last year's Supreme Court ruling that defined a woman in law by biological sex. The party will still allow trans women to attend fringe events but not the main conference. The move has angered a number of Labour-affiliated unions, whose own equality policies support the inclusion of trans women and who are now refusing to take part. Last year's Labour Women's Conference was cancelled while the party awaited guidance following the Supreme Court judgment but this year's event is due to go ahead in Liverpool.
