Women’s Bill

of Rights

In 2022, WoLF and Independent Women’s Voice (IWV) developed the Women’s Bill of Rights. This model legislation clearly states exactly what a “woman” is, and why women deserve single-sex spaces and opportunities.

About the ModeL Legislation

The Women’s Bill of Rights does three important things:

Defines “sex” based on biology (either male or female), seeks to enshrine into law common definitions of “woman,” “girl,” and “mother”

1.

Codifies the intermediate scrutiny standard of judicial review to allow the law to recognize sex when it is relevant (ex. shelters, locker rooms, and prisons)

2.

Requires vital statistic collection for anti-discrimination, or public health and safety to accurately record and report on biological sex

3.

This bill would help protect women's safety and dignity in spaces like:

Sports

Prisons

Bathrooms

Shelters

Education
