“Permanent Sex-Segregation of NHS hospital wards to reflect anatomical reality”.
Amend Equality Act 2010 to include explicit duty of care to mitigate risk of rape & sexual violence including H&S Risk Assessments with the "known knowns" of MOJ statistics 2001-2020 > 99% of all sexual offenders are MALE & 88-90% of "sexually offended against" are FEMALE (ONS &Eurostats 2018).
All applaud service of NHS staff. This petition questions whether hard-pressed NHS staff are equipped to conduct H&S Risk Assessments for placement of male transwomen in female wards given the prevailing “myths & stereotypes” re: Rape & those who have been. Such basic facts: Rape Crisis (E&W) 1 in 5 females subjected to rape since 16th birthday ONS & Eurostats 2018: 88-90% of the “sexually offended against” are FEMALE. MOJ 2001-20: more than 99% of all sexual offenders are MALE.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
It's not clear if you want all NHS facilities be required to have separate wards for men and women, or a new duty for NHS authorities to be required to consider when making decisions about how services are delivered, or both.
We also couldn't accept a petition that discriminated against people on the basis of a characteristic that is protected under the Equality Act 2010, including the protected characteristic of gender reassignment.
