Gender Equality


Sex (being a man or a woman) is a protected characteristic in the Equality Act 2010. Sex discrimination, both direct and indirect, can affect both women and men, but women are affected more often than men. 

The Equality Act 2010 also covers gender reassignment and pregnancy discrimination. 

This section includes updates on our latest projects and policies to promote sex equality and challenge sexism and misogyny.
