Rowling Takes on Amnesty UK
JK Rowling has threatened to sue Amnesty UK after it labeled Beira's Place, a sexual violence support charity she funds, as 'anti-rights' and 'gender critical'. The report was withdrawn and Amnesty International distanced itself from it.
Scotland's Record on Women
Scotland has a poor recent record in protecting women, including placing a convicted rapist, Adam Graham, in a women's prison after he identified as Isla Bryson. He was removed after an outcry. Mridul Wadhwa, a transwoman, was put in charge of Edinburgh Rape Crisis but stepped down after failing to provide women-only spaces for 16 months.
Rowling's Role
Rowling is praised for using her influence and finances to stand up for women's rights and fund legal battles. The article questions why she is not a Dame or a saint for her efforts.
