I donate regularly to Womankind Worldwide and really like what they do, across countries where it's pretty shit to be a woman (Afghanistan, Sudan, Congo, Uganda). Or I thought I did.

I've just seen this tweet from them https://x.com/woman_kind/status/1919381973908217938 which then goes to this statement https://www.womankind.org.uk/no-one-of-us-can-be-free-until-everybody-is-free-womankinds-stance-on-trans-rights/

I'm pissed off, as a) they didn't need to make a statement. A lot of their work isn't in the UK. b) the statement is from 2022 so they've apparently been erasing women since then anyway.

Can anyone help me with an email to them to say how disappointing this is. Or do I just cancel my direct debit and tell them why? eg they've included the immortal words 'educate yourself' and 'How exactly are trans people oppressed?'

Or do I accept my money is still helping women in those countries and I just have to grit my teeth. Or can anyone recommend an alternative charity?

Thanks

Oh bloody hell. I donate to them too.

I’ll cancel my direct debit. What a disappointment.

When they rang me to ask me to join, they certainly didn’t mention their ‘intersectional feminism’, just the actual women they support. Ffs.

I agree with Hoardasurass cancel dd and tell them why, it’s unlikely to make a difference tho. I donate monthly to Sex Matters but thats UK based, Im also looking for an org that supports women worldwide if someone can suggest, Ive had experience of working with charities and I found most are full of top management positions that are hugely overpaid and staff on the ground get paid very poorly in comparison. Also hate the street collectors! Little of that money goes to those they are generating it for supposedly! Im cynical I know.

Agreed. It's the funding that makes a difference. The charity sector is a massive impediment to women's rights and child safeguarding and I won't give a single £ to any organisation that prioritises men's demands over women's rights.

I'd just cancel my dd and tell them why. They won't care about anything you or anyone gc has to say about their trans inclusion until they start to loose money
