Sex equality and equity network for the third sector. We are NFP employees and volunteers who recognise the material reality of sex in life and law.
Should any of the women's organisations targeted by @AmnestyUK's recent 'anti-rights' blacklist wish to take legal action, applications can be made to the JK Rowling Women's Fund. jkrwf.org
We have responded to @AmnestyUK following their response to our complaint. We don't need to share their response to use since it was the same copy and paste that everyone else has received.
Amnesty have written to people saying “We regret ‘A growing threat: the anti-rights movement in the UK’ briefing was uploaded to our website without going through the established internal review processes that are in place to ensure consistency, accuracy and alignment with Amnesty International UK's positions. It's use of language does not reflect the position of Amnesty International UK which is why it was promptly removed.” “We remain committed to defending human rights, including both the rights of women and the rights of trans people.” This is insulting double-speak.
Whilst I understand the detriment to Beira’s Place is real, and focussing on @jk_rowling get clicks it’s a shame that mainstream press coverage of the Amnesty debacle is not also focussing on us smaller groups listed who do not have the same power or influence to defend ourselves
