Key takeaway The proposal was introduced on the final day of the conference and claimed to be based on the Beijing Declaration on women's rights.
A recent development at the United Nations has implications for the local LGBTQ community. Delegates at the Commission on the Status of Women rejected a US proposal to define "gender" in a way that excludes trans women. The proposal was introduced on the final day of the conference and claimed to be based on the Beijing Declaration on women's rights.
However, a letter from the Women's Rights Caucus argued that no specific definition was adopted. Further details on this decision are available from LGBTQ Nation, which has been following the story. The outcome of the vote is seen as a significant moment for trans rights.
