Surely Mridul Wadhwa has to go now? Report into ERCC out.

The government / MoJ need to step in and REQUIRE female only options.

The Government must demand them and make it illegal not to provide and uphold them, that is the only way these people will listen and comply.

It’s great to see all MW and ERCC multiple and manifold failings laid out in a report

however I am beyond tired of yet another example of FWR & women generally shouting about something for years, being abused roundly for saying it - only to be proved right all along but only after the lives of traumatised women who needed help & support were disrupted and made significantly worse - all to pander to another fucking man with issues

I understand the anger re Mridul. But trans activist staff- board members/ staff- all over the country are deliberately ending female only support. And no one is addressing it- not the government, not councils, nor NHS, not Police Commissioners- these funders are just ignoring it.

So we have Sarah Surviving having to go to court in Brighton for a SINGLE female only rape support group, and in Bristol the provider SARSAS has no female only rape support either.

The depth of contempt and cruelty to women/ girls who won't lie that men are women, and need single sex support groups, is terrifying.This covers all types of abuse support for female survivors of male violence in Bristol, and most of Avon and Somerset too- it is surely a nationwide issue.The government / MoJ need to step in and REQUIRE female only options.

“But the Trustees really do bear a lot of responsibility”

“but what did they do about it?”

They voted with their feet and resigned from their trustee roles.

Trustee roles are voluntary positions which carry serious responsibilities.

If they’ve discovered they’ve volunteered with an organisation which is not only dysfunctional, but irredeemably so, I can’t say I blame them for getting the heck out.

Does the report make any mention of MW's lack of appropriate professional qualifications?

There's not much point in changing it (wiki) as it will get changed back again within five minutes. Either get yourself a new VPN or let it go.

Thank you everyone else for breaking down that report ❤

Just noticed a quote at the end of the BBC news article from Kaukab Stewart.

"Equalities minister Kaukab Stewart said it was unacceptable that rape survivors had been let down"

This Kaukab Stewart?

are there some ferrets that are going to need reversing?

I also read this and thought of Sarah. I hope it can help her.

You'd think they would, but it's a theme now that the captured organisation keeps the legal action going until the last second before they have to enter a courtroom...and then concede on grounds they could have admitted months or years before.

Bloody obvious you would think!! 2024 and we have this!!

A good day for Scotland!

It was great to read more about JK Rowling's aid to women in funding/creating 'Beria's place'. What a strong and compassionate woman she is.

It very much reads as if "women" means physical sex but the language has been so mangled that no-one knows for sure and certain.

I expect it will be very helpful to Sarah's case. I'm even a bit surprised after Roz Adams that Sussex haven't rolled over and tried to settle yet and that Sarah's case still has to go ahead. In my eyes it's not looking at all good for Sussex. But then I have no legal background.

I keep planting my carrots for her, a few seeds at a time. Sarah's was my first garden and I'll keep going til the harvest.

I am losing patience with this idea of having to define what a girl and a woman is as per Rape Crisis saying they need to agree and publish a definition - it is fucking simple a juvenile female human and an adult female human and NOTHING else, not a man with a piece of paper that is a legal fiction, nor a man who thinks in his head he is a woman.

Just STOP with this nonsense now.

Wings article. https://wingsoverscotland.com/the-land-of-immunity/

'Astonishingly, there isn’t a single word of apology anywhere in this statement.

There isn’t a scintilla of contrition, not the tiniest glimmer of admission of culpability or responsibility. There isn’t even a weasel-worded expression of “regret”.

Rape Crisis Scotland is unfit for purpose, and its CEO must resign.

She won’t, of course, because nobody in Scotland has been accountable for anything for the last decade. The Lord Advocate presided over a malicious prosecution that will cost taxpayers upwards of £100m and didn’t have to quit over it.'

Yet another example of how adherence to this wretched ideology repeatedly trashes once respected organisations and the safety of women and children.
Every. bloody. time.

A damning report and rightly so, ERCC and MW in particular cared not one iota about the service users their concern was to ensure their political doctrine around gender affirmation was embedded in this sector. Absolutely fucking horrendous.

Who hired this MAN (legally and biologically) to head a WOMAN'S service?

They are the second people I would fire, obviously after Mr Wadhwa.

This is a big plus.

I guess the thing is whether RCS will accept this or not. They may yet just ignore and continue as they have been 'nothing to see here'.

I also wonder whether there will be any impact on Stonewall and Stonewall's advice? I cannot think that there will be very much left of Stonewall's reputation about their interpretation of the laws around transgender issues at this stage.

Maybe using wrong sex pronouns for someone who behaves with typical male pattern abusive behaviour addled their brains so much that they can't cope with SPAG anymore.

Or you know, the typos IDENTIFY as correct, and as we know that's all that matters.

I'm fine with typos to be honest, using wrong sex pronouns for men where women have been harmed by men, not so much.

almost as if it was a DEI hire?

Based on that report I'd say MW will be out the door pretty sharp now. But the Trustees really do bear a lot of responsibility. It sounds like regardless of the trans debate, MW is not a good or competent leader or manager and definitely not charity CEO material. That should have been obvious before they employed MW (it was obvious to me) and certainly became obvious over time but what did they do about it? Spoiler alert: big egos make bad bosses.

please, please post this to the talk pages of the ERCC wiki page and Mriduls wiki talk page

I cant post it there (VPN access), and they ignore any DM articles, strangely they accept the BBC

Glad to see this reported on the BBC now as well. Currently no. 7 under most read articles.
