  Womens' Fightback 37 — Protect trans healthcare & abortion rights 4 all — Summer '26

  Jul 15, 20263h 10m

  Women's Fightback 37, Summer 2026. For centuries medicine had viewed women’s bodies as inferior, unstable, weak and dangerous. This legacy still haunts us. As Women’s Fightback 37, a Health Special went to press, a damning three-year long review of the biggest childbirth scandal in NHS history concludes revealing brutal treatment of those receiving maternity care. Our editorial charts the history of how women’s health has been understood, the role the National Health Service has played in improving women’s health and the challenges we face today through inequality, privatisation and distrust in health systems. We have reports of campaigns of workers improving trans healthcare fighting HIV stigma, saving care services and to support sex worker decriminalisation. Our country profile covers women’s struggles in Hungary, and we have class struggle feminists reports from Latvia, the US and Nigeria. Articles: Editorial: Women's Health, Inequality and the Future of the NHS Trans Segregation, a New Era of Misogyny: the EHRC Code of Practice Sheffield Trans Healthcare Practice Learning Initiative Fight the EHRC Not Reps! Strike Saves Central Hill Dementia Centre Unionising Against HIV Stigma Challenge to Women's Rights in Latvia Against the Cult of Personality: César Chávez and the UFW Who Cares? UK Fostering System in Crisis Everlasting Bread exposes Nigerian Authorities' Lack of Care for Public Health The Many Lives of Tracey Emin 'Inside the Manosphere' barely scratches the surface Featured Poet: Elly Gault Unions Move to Support Sex Work Decriminalisation Our Family History: a Review of Two Books Obituary: Marjane Satrapi (1969-2026) When Workers Occupied Their Hospital Women’s Struggles in Hungary Far right beaten back in Brighton More online: https://workersliberty.org/publications/womens-fightback/womens-fightback-37-summer-2026 Women's Fightback is a socialist feminist magazine by Workers' Liberty. We stand for trans-inclusive, sex-positive, class struggle feminism. We organise in our workplaces and trade unions, and in the student movement and Labour Party for socialist feminist politics.
