10. Conclusion, Recommendations & Permission. 10.1 The EHRC’s position has consistently aligned with GCN including on (but not limited to): legal gender recognition; conversion practices; sex and gender data collection; the definition of “sex” in the Equality Act; and operation of gendered services. With growing GCI in the UK, media, & politics, political interference & lack of international collaboration, the EHRC has uncritically adopted these positions as fact, putting GCNs above its duty to provide guidance based on the present state of law. The EHRC’s position is contrary to international human rights standards. 10.2 We are not aware of any efforts by the EHRC to re-align their position with stakeholders as stated in these PPs: Non-governmental organizations responsible for human rights [...] trade unions, concerned social and professional organizations … qualified experts; or Parliament. 10.3 The EHRC is not independent & does not promote & protect human rights of all, per international standards. It is in breach of PP A.3 & G.O.s 1.2, 1.3 & 1.4. We seek a further urgent review of the EHRC’s accreditation status given the accumulated further information since the last review (SCA in its Oct. 2025 review decided to keep monitoring the UK.) 10.4 We give permission for the information contained in this submission to be shared with any necessary parties. 5 Signed: Dr Victoria McCloud for Trans Exile Network, [redacted address] Émilie Weidl for Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention & Human Security, [redacted address]
