JK Rowling and other gender-critical campaigners have reacted furiously after a report from human rights organisation Amnesty International criticised their work.
A new report from the group has been published examining the “rise of an anti-rights movement targeting the rights of women and LGBT+ people in the UK”. The updated report, which was first published in 2025, identifies a list of “anti-rights organisations”.
This year the study adds 51 gender-critical groups to the collection. Among them are Beira’s Place, a sexual violence support centre founded by Rowling in 2022 which will not provide services to trans women.
Other named organisations are Women Scotland, and policy group Murray Blackburn Mackenzie, who campaign to protect what they describe as “sex-based rights”.
Amnesty’s report said the groups were named because they “visibly oppose the rights” of LGBT+ people.
Gender-critical campaigners have reacted with anger to the list, with suggestions that legal action could be taken.

Amnesty has abandoned females as a sex class and a biological category.
Huge damage to their credibility as human rights organisation.
The transborg chalks up another notable infiltration of a formerly respected entity. Quel dommage!
