Goodwin v United Kingdom

Christine Goodwin v. United Kingdom is a case decided by the Euoropean Court of Human Rights on 11 July 2002. The applicant, Christine Goodwin, a United Kingdom national born in 1937, was a post-operative male to female transsexual. She claimed that she had problems and faced sexual harassment at work during and following her gender reassignment. She also alleged that the fact that she keeps the same NI number has meant that her employer has been able to discover that she previously worked for them under another name and gender, with resulting embarrassment and humiliation.
