Refuge responds to today’s Supreme Court ruling on gender and single-sex spaces

In response to today’s Supreme Court ruling on gender and single-sex spaces, Gemma Sherrington, CEO of Refuge, said:

“Today’s ruling by the Supreme Court will not change the way Refuge operates. We remain firmly committed to supporting all survivors of domestic abuse, including trans women.

“Refuge offers a range of specialist services that are accessible to trans women, including our helpline, community-based support, and some accommodation-based services. These are designed to provide safety, dignity, and tailored support to meet individual needs.

“Our commitment to compassion and inclusion remains at the heart of our work, and we continue to develop and strengthen services to meet the needs of every survivor.”
