Transgender equality inquiry launched

31 July 2015

The Women and Equalities Committee launches an inquiry considering “how far and in what ways, trans people still have yet to achieve full equality; and how the outstanding issues can most effectively be addressed”.

Committee Chair Maria Miller said; ”Many trans people still face discrimination and unfair treatment in their work, schools, healthcare and other important services. Transphobia and hate crimes are a cruel reminder that we have still have a great deal to do to achieve true equality for everyone. I hope that trans people will feel able to share their experiences with our inquiry, so that the committee can make recommendations for improving people’s lives.”
