Charity Cancels Women's Boxing Program After Court Ruling

0:00It's March 19, here's your entertainment news in two minutes. The King's Trust, a charity started by King Charles back in 1976, has canceled a free boxing and fitness program for disadvantaged. Young women in Bristol, instead of restricting it to biological females, they chose to scrap the whole thing after a recent Supreme Court ruling clarified that sex means. Biological sex under the Equality Act. The five-day course was set for February 23rd to 27th and targeted women age 16 to 25, who aren't in work, school, or training. It promised qualifications, confidence building, and strength training through boxing. But the charity pulled the webpage in the offer entirely. Women's rights groups are furious about the decision, saying it robs vulnerable young women of a key opportunity to get fit and gain skills. Others argue the charity is putting ideology over safety and fairness, especially since the program involved physical contact and shared spaces. A parent first raised alarms by emailing the charity, warning that allowing biological

The initiative was launched by Olympic gold medalist Nikola Adams, who supports keeping women's sports for biological females only. Now the charity is reviewing all its programs, while advocates push for the course to return with proper single-sex rules. Quick thanks to today's sponsor, see the description for more.
