Independent Women’s Voice Celebrates Bi-partisan Passage of Mississippi Women’s Bill of Rights, One Step Closer to Governor Reeves’s Signature Posted April 11, 2024
Summary: Independent Women’s Voice applauds the Mississippi Legislature for bi-partisan passage of House Bill 1607—the Mississippi Women’s Bill of Rights—moving Mississippi one step closer to being a state that stands with women. The Mississippi Women’s Bill of Rights clearly defines ‘male’ and ‘female’ terms based on biology and declares the state’s right to have single-sex spaces such as rape crisis centers, domestic violence shelters, prisons, athletic teams, locker rooms, and sororities. The measure prevents sex-discrimination and protects legislative transparency.
