Share Your Story is paused

Women across Alberta are witnessing things that need to be documented — in prisons, hospitals, schools, shelters and workplaces. Our Share Your Story intake gathered first-hand accounts for our submission to stakeholders and government. That work is complete, and the intake is closed while we build the capacity to respond to everyone who comes forward.

When it reopens, it will be announced on this website. As always, submissions will be encrypted and no tracking of any kind. Until then, you can reach us at Contact_WGA@proton.me.

Our intake is paused while we are strengthening our capacity to respond to the volume of reports. See the contact page for details.

How Alberta Is Leading the Way

While other provinces watch from the sidelines, Alberta has passed law after law to protect biological sex as a meaningful legal category; restricting the medicalization of gender-dysphoric children, restoring parental rights in schools, defending female sport categories, and shielding professionals who speak plainly about biological reality. Here is the legislation making it happen.

Data Integrity & Evidence-Based Policy

Women's Safety & Protection From Male Violence

Bill 29: Fairness and Safety in Sport Act

Alberta legislated biological sex as the basis for female sport divisions in schools, post-secondary institutions, and provincial sport organizations, making it the first Canadian province to do so by statute. The Act came into force September 1, 2025 and is shielded from Charter challenge by Bill 9's notwithstanding clause. No legal challenge had been filed as of the time of Bill 9's passage, though Egale Canada has stated its intention to challenge the legislation.

Women's Safety & Protection From Male Violence

Bill 26: Health Statutes Amendment Act, 2024

Alberta became the first Canadian province to legislatively ban puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and gender-affirming surgeries for minors under 18. After a brief court injunction, Bill 9's notwithstanding clause brought the legislation fully into force in December 2025. A federalism-based challenge was denied in May 2026; an appeal is pending.

Women's Safety & Protection From Male Violence

Bill 13: Regulated Professions Neutrality Act, 2025

Passed December 9, 2025, this Act prohibits professional regulatory bodies from disciplining members for off-duty speech and bans mandatory DEI, cultural competency, and unconscious bias training. Applying to over 40 regulatory bodies and 100+ professions, it directly protects women professionals who have faced regulatory consequences for expressing sex-realist views.

Organizations We Support

We don't work alone. These organizations share our commitment to protecting women's sex-based rights in courts, in clinics, in shelters, and in public debate. Together we are building the evidence base, the legal challenges, and the networks that make change possible.

Women Leading the Way

These are the researchers, journalists, lawyers, athletes, and advocates who have put their reputations and in some cases their careers on the line to speak the truth about women's rights. Their work is the foundation ours is built on.
