Overview

• A 12-month pilot peer support group will be available exclusively to biological women who identify as women or do not hold a gender identity.
• The initiative stems from an out-of-court settlement with Sarah Surviving, who sued Survivors’ Network in 2022 for refusing a cisgender women-only service.
• Co-chairs Beca Davison and Sara Jones said the dedicated provision acknowledges certain trauma responses and supports healing for biological women.
• The charity retains its original peer support groups for trans, non-binary, and intersex survivors unchanged.
• The policy adjustment follows a UK Supreme Court decision that defined single-sex services by biological sex.
