UN Special Rapporteur for Violence Against Women and Children, Reem Alsalem, has called for a stop to ongoing aggression against women protesting for female spaces to remain free of those who are biologically male but now identify as transgender.

Alsalem said having different views was not a “green light” for threats and violence.
