Subject: Official Information request - Definition of a woman

Dear Ministry for Women,

Can you please provide for me the definition your organisation uses to identify a woman, when the definition became official, the process you used to agree that definition and what groups and individuals, if any, you consulted with when creating the definition. I am not seeking names of private individuals, however if any prominent individuals, especially if they have spoken publicly regarding how a woman is defined, were consulted, please provide their names.

Yours faithfully,
Interested citizen
