Fair Play for Women is a gender-critical policy and advocacy organisation that campaigns against trans rights in the UK, with a particular focus on access to single-sex spaces, women's sports, and legal definitions of sex. Founded in 2019, it is one of the most prominent gender-critical organisations and has been involved in major litigation and media campaigns.
Fair Play for Women has been a leading voice in gender-critical legal challenges, including interventions in cases relating to the Gender Recognition Act, the definition of "woman" in the Equality Act 2010, and access to single-sex services. The organisation has submitted evidence to parliamentary inquiries and government consultations, and its representatives frequently appear in UK media.
The organisation has close links with other gender-critical groups including For Women Scotland, Sex Matters, and the LGB Alliance.
In its May 2026 report "Like a Snowball", Amnesty International UK identified Fair Play for Women as one of 51 gender-critical "anti-rights" organisations in the UK. Its July 2026 report "A Growing Threat" included the organisation in the broader mapping of 117 anti-rights actors.
Fair Play for Women is registered as a company in the UK. The organisation's accounts show it receives funding through donations and fundraising, with expenditure directed towards legal costs, campaigning, and media activities.
