Stonewall on equality watchdog fears - a podcast by BBC Radio 4

Britain's human rights watchdog faces a legal challenge to its status over a row about transgender rights.

LGBT charities want the UN to revoke the Equality and Human Rights Commission's (EHRC) status as an independent group.

It comes after the EHRC was criticised for calling for a pause to proposed reforms to the Gender Recognition Act in Scotland. The EHRC has raised concerns about the impact on single-sex services.

Today's Justin Webb speaks to Nancy Kelley, chief executive of Stonewall.
