Dear Prime Minister, please instruct Universities Uk to withdraw guidelines which allow sexual apartheid, by segregating male and female students in lectures and university events, or preventing women from attending events. This is re-introducing cultural mores discarded by Britain almost a hundred years ago, which directly conflict with Equality legislation passed over 50 years ago.
Why is this important?
We must not go back to the dark ages when women were considered inferior to men and prevented from achieving their full potential. The guidelines have been issued to satisfy a tiny minority of speakers and students whose religion and cultural ideas are alien to this country. As a grandmother with a grand-daughter, I fear for her future if we continue on this road. We have lost Nelson Mandela, let us honour that loss with our fight against sexual apartheid.
