Women Speak Tasmania members staged a series of protests in response to the continued bullying and vilification of Councillor Louise Elliott, who has been unfairly targeted simply for expressing gender-critical views.
These actions draw attention to the climate of intolerance faced by women in public life who dare to defend sex-based rights. Attempts to silence or punish elected representatives for holding legitimate, evidence-based positions are unacceptable in a democratic society.
Women Speak Tasmania stands in full solidarity with Councillor Elliott, and we will continue to oppose this campaign of harassment and intimidation against women who speak the truth about sex and safeguard the rights of women and girls.
