A London mosque’s charity run excluding women and girls over 12 sparks legal and equality debate.
A charity run organized by the East London Mosque in Victoria Park has drawn criticism for allowing only men and girls under 12 to participate, despite being marketed as inclusive.
The event, which raised over £150,000 in 2024, has prompted concerns from equality advocates who argue the exclusion of women and girls over 12 may violate the Equality Act.
The mosque says the policy complies with UK law under Section 195 and Schedule 23, which permit single-gender events, citing precedents like the Women's Run Series and gender-segregated activities in some religious settings.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission is reviewing potential complaints.
The controversy highlights ongoing tensions over gender inclusion, religious practice, and legal compliance in public events.
