TACC, @translucent.org.uk, @transsafety.network, and @transexilenetwork.bsky.social have written to Amnesty International UK over the withdrawal of its reports on the UK’s anti-rights movement and its subsequent apology to gender-critical organisations.
Dear Amnesty International UK, We are writing to convey our deep concern about your recent decision to withdraw the reports “A growing threat: the anti-rights movement in the UK” and “Like a Snowball”, and your subsequent apology, published 31st July 2026, to gender-critical and other anti-trans organisations. We understand you have already received significant backlash, so we want to assure you that we are writing in good faith and in a spirit of constructive engagement. As a trans-led advocacy group in the UK, we are aware of the intense pressure you are under. Given the near media monopoly enjoyed by gender critical organisations, we can understand the need you felt to act swiftly and decisively. Unfortunately, we believe you’ll now find yourselves in an even more difficult position. Gender critical organisations are already indicating that they don’t consider your retractions and apology adequate. At the same time, a large portion of the LGBTQ+ community in the UK has lost confidence in one of the few internationally-respected, human rights organisations. The trans+ community, and our allies, have immense respect for Amnesty, as renowned advocates for human rights around the world. Indeed, your website’s front page states in bold type "We fight for people’s human rights everywhere". You have made, and continue to make, a positive difference to countless lives. As your reports clearly pointed out, there is presently a highly organised and well-funded attack on LGBTQ+ rights happening across the globe, with a strong focus currently on trans+ rights. Even within the wider global perspective, the UK stands out as having one of the worst rollbacks of LGBTQ+ rights in modern history outside of Russia and America. Trans+ people are now fleeing the country, some leaving behind their friends and families. What is most worrying in all of this is the complete withdrawal of both reports, with no indication of when, or if, “Like a Snowball” will be updated and reissued.... The corpus analysis in Snowball was undertaken by Dr Fraser Heritage, a Senior Lecturer in Linguistics at Manchester Metropolitan University, and it appears to be a high-quality piece of linguistic research. When "Like A Snowball" was published, it was a beacon of light, flickering amidst the darkness of an almost total capture of the media and the established UK human rights by the gender critical ideological movement. Following up with "A Growing Threat" felt brave, and it clearly rattled many gender critical organisations. We can understand why both were withdrawn if deemed not robust enough to defend against legal challenge; however, the withdrawal without the possibility of a corrected reissue is, in our opinion, a step too far. To follow that with what seems like a forced apology, framed in gender critical terms, looks like capitulation. It leaves our marginalised community feeling even more abandoned and isolated in the face of relentless attacks on our rights, our healthcare, even our very existence. The simple fact of producing these reports in the first place is a clear indicator of your organisation being convinced there are serious human rights issues to address. If Amnesty doesn’t look to republish, then the silence grows louder, and trans+ rights are further diminished. We would like to request an urgent Google meeting with your CEO, Kerry Moscogiuri. A meeting where we would discuss where this leaves Amnesty International UK in terms of defending LGBTQ+ rights in the present UK wide hostile environment. Your faithfully, Trans Advocacy & Complaints Collective Trans Exile Network TransLucent Trans Safety Network

The email from Amnesty International UK is even more gaslighting than their public statement… 😖

Including ‘gender critical’ transphobic tropes such as “rolling back women’s hard won rights” and treating trans people with “dignity”!

F*ck them!!! 😖😣

Donation cancelled.
AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL Dear Lead Activist As you may well have seen, Amnesty International UK recently made a public apology for the publication of the briefing "A growing threat: the anti-rights movement in the UK". This document should never have been published, and full responsibility for this error rests with Amnesty International UK. The briefing was taken down shortly after publication, was not actively promoted, and will not be republished. We have an ongoing internal investigation into how this briefing came to be published. As part of this process, we have also withdrawn an earlier more discursive briefing, "Like a Snowball," which similarly referenced a wide range of organisations. AIUK holds itself to the highest standards of research, evidence and editorial oversight in all its publications. We have concluded that this briefing does not meet those standards. We will commission an independent external review to learn from this moment to ensure our work meets the high standards expected of us and of the wider Amnesty movement. Amnesty International UK is deeply committed to our work on gender justice. We are committed to the rights of all women and all girls the world over who face multiple and increasing attempts to roll back their hard won rights. We are committed to the rights of all trans people, in the UK and globally, as their fundamental human rights, dignity and very existence comes under sustained attack. Our commitment to the idea that all people should be safe from gender-based violence, oppression, discrimination and hatred remains emphatic and absolute. It is my mission as CEO to defend the idea that rights belong equally to everyone, to build bridges and synergies in a world where divisions are becoming both deeper and more entrenched. We know that this will be disappointing, frustrating and upsetting for our supporters, members and activists and for this, too, we apologise without reservation. We know that you champion and represent the organisation, put your trust in its outputs, and rightly have high expectations of our research and our actions. We commit to listening, learning from our mistakes, and ensuring AIUK remains a fearless champion for human rights and universal equality. Yours sincerely Kerry Kerry Moscogiuri Chief Executive Amnesty International 🇬🇧

New profile of Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales, listed in Amnesty UK's retracted anti-rights reports. Both the company and the charity tow the party line handed down by the Pope. They released anti-trans statements on gender in 2018 & 2024.

"No, JK Rowling’s rape centre is not abusing human rights. Amnesty is a joke" [Telegraph]
No, JK Rowling’s rape centre is not abusing human rights. Amnesty is a joke Features14 Jul 2026Suzanne Moore In December 2022, a former Amnesty employee told me I should come up to Edinburgh to see a secret project she was working on. As that person was JK Rowling, I hopped on a train. What she wanted to show me was the freshly painted Beira’s Place, a fine Edinburgh townhouse she had bought in order to set up a support service for women who had suffered sexual violence. I had tea and biscuits with the experienced team she had assembled to run it and left deeply impressed that Rowling had made sure this rape crisis centre would be funded.
