It's beyond contemptuous how women have been treated by their trades unions. Another woman crowdfunding to set things right. Please share far and wide!

I stepped back from all this. Felt guilty for doing so but frlt grsteful for the @DrK_IngalaSmith. @jk_rowling. @bindelj and many others but this @AmnestyUK garbage has reopened an huge old wound. Entirely disgusted but it id on a par with much of their tenor for years.

After a decade of being bashed and bashed and bashed, going after JK Rowling’s SHELTER for traumatized and abused women was too much. Amnesty and their ilk have played a dangerous game of latching onto the latest fad for cash. They took it too far. This will not end well.

[Beth Saligo @BethSaligo]

@babybeginner Exactly right: trying to be populist, appeal to trends, jump on bandwagons. Abamdon research, evidence and analysis. Fundraising took over and oh it so hsppens current ceo used to be senior in fundraising.....russell brand, avoid issues like no recourse.....populism all the way

.@peterjukes I am asking for your response by 6pm today. I have also sent this to your email.

@genspect Was bit stunned to hear she got the job as ceo for multiple readons not least hissing refusal at female colleague inviting her to consultation re amnesty stance on reproductive rigjts something like ....we are not all babykillers.

[Sex Matters @SexMattersOrg]

The pressure on Amnesty continues to grow. In the @australian, @MForstater responds to Amnesty’s suggestion that its recent report was some sort of lapse in its usually balanced and fair-minded processes: “Far from it.”

The Trades Union movement has plenty to be proud of - and some truly shameful history in its treatment of women. Its present, now, is following the latter not the former pattern. Please support Stephanie, who is taking them on:

More examples of @amnestyuk failing on women's rights. Not what wamt to see but glad being exposed given what some women at @AmnestyUK experienced .......ha ha ha "three witches"....."weird sisters"..... "we are not all babykillers".......... @WarOnWant

[Beth Saligo @BethSaligo]

@babybeginner @jk_rowling She (current ceo) also seemed to some of us at the time to have huge discomfort re reproductive rights and autonomy as far as abortion was concerned. Getting women's rights propetly taken on board was a fight every day- mainly ignorance but sometimes overt hostility.

[Beth Saligo @BethSaligo]

@JohnJamesNI @jk_rowling @AmnestyUK They were already there before that, joining bandwagon of pimps and buyers by sanitising prostitution as "sex work" and calling three feminist rights campaigners "the three witches" as "banter". They just never got women or feminism. @bindelj

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

I’m often tickled by press articles asserting that I’m furious about things that actually gave me a proper belly laugh. This time, though, knock yourselves out. Amnesty’s attack on Beira’s Place has left me burning with the kind of fury that mounts with every passing hour.

[Beth Saligo @BethSaligo]

@ForWomenScot @AmnestyUK Classic @amnesty simplistic bloc politics. U think one thing so u must think all these things. Ignorant, populist, unresearched. For us v. Against us, no nuance. & See Begg - horribly mistreated by U.S. therefore perfect hero! But was flawed: on women's rts at least. @GitaSahgal

@jk_rowling @thetimes She sneered/sniped colleague leading reproductive rts campaign commenting e.g.we re not all babykillers, headed fundraising @AmnestyUK embraced R. brand against views of women's campaigners.

Absolutely beggars bloody belief…. As I said last week “the lunatics are running the asylum”!!!

Placing Shabir Ahmed who raped countless children over many years in the doorstep of Rochdale/Oldham is just incompetence, neglect and clearly totally ignores the fear expressed by his victims of bumping into him!

I’d been told by a high ranking officer in @gmpolice Greater Manchester Police that he was to be housed outside of the GMP area but not where, and I had hoped he would be sent to the ends of the country to prevent that happening!

And they knew full well how his release had caused lots of fear amongst his victims and the community.

Clearly the powers that be have decided that it’s more important to put him close to his own family, his friends and associates as he needs to feel welcome and that he’s “come home”!!

Well it enrages me! Yet again!

Victims and survivors have yet again not even been a consideration! Not even an afterthought! Just totally irrelevant, ignored and failed!

So all the rhetoric around victims rights is just that! Rhetoric!!

And it makes me sick! 😡
