after the quiz you get asked to join/donate before getting your results,

just say no to both, and it skips to your results

The results are not the important bit, the questions are eye opening

A sobering reminder why feminism is so important.

Have Amnesty finally realised that they have alienated a lot of their supporters? That quiz is about actual women and actual misogyny, and yes, it’s quite sobering.

I’m afraid this comes a bit late for me. They should have given their head a wobble about four years ago. And Amnesty still support pimping and prostitution.

I got 7 out of 7 on the quiz. Amnesty still gets 0/7 from me.

Umm… the same amnesty internationals who had Shon “enjoy your erasure” Faye as a spokesperson is now interested in womens rights? The hypocrisy is blinding.

This

Same

Some time ago they stated that they were going to erase 'women' from everything to do with being female sex because trans people face more awful stuff than women do, in their opinion. Tell that to the women and girls in Afghanistan.

F_ Amnesty International.

I may have just contacted them saying I’d love to donate or help but was too busy enjoying my erasure….

Exactly this

Does it include how amnesty called for the removal of the right to vote from Irish women who don’t agree a TWAW?

I'm interested to know more about Amnesty's record re women/the gender debate. (It sounds like there is more to the story than I realised) I remember watching an interview a while ago with someone from Amnesty Ireland (granddaughter/daughter of a founder?), also, reading an article about how Amnesty wouldn't support Navalney as a prisoner of conscience because of his political beliefs- and both of these showed how far Amnesty seemed to have moved from their original raison d'etre.

I don't want to hijack this thread, so apologies- although it does seem relevant and related, and my own search hasn't been very successful- so I'd really appreciate if anyone would be happy to post any links to better inform me please (for me- and also as someone close to me has been a lifelong supporter and I want them to be aware- with more evidence than the two examples I've already sent their way).

A bit rambly.. but at least I managed to catch and correct raison d'etre from raisin d'etre before posting!

Shelefttheweb seriously? amnesty international, which declares it stands for human rights for all, also believes women (only women?) who have some fairly basic understanding of biology shouldn’t be allowed to vote???
WTAF

It's true. They signed a letter arguing that women who refuse to say that TWAW should be disenfranchised

thecritic.co.uk/amnesty-and-political-prisoners-in-ireland/

They also suggested that all the Irish women who objected to being told they should be disenfranchised were being influenced by TERFS from the UK/US. Apparently I can't think for myself.
When it was pointed out repeatedly what that letter was calling for, I don't think any of the large organisations who signed it distanced themselves from it.

Twitter thread by Iseult re that Amnesty letter
Is this what you meant Damemaud (as an Irish woman I automatically assumed your name related to Maud Gonne and did not think of Maud McCarthy but of course it may be related to neither)

Thank you believer. Yes. This is great- really helpful.

(Ps, no Irish connection to my username. It comes from a favourite film- though I've spelt incorrectly - should be Maude.
Going to look up Maud Gonne now though as interest piqued!)

Ah, Amnesty

hiyamaya.net/2021/10/18/amnesty-international-is-sexually-harassing-women-political-protest/

So yes. Iseult, I think, was the interviewee I watched ages ago on YouTube.
I also see she is Maud Gonne's great grand daughter! I can totally see why you would you might assume my username link.
Having taken a a quick look, this is all sending my off an interesting tangent/rabbit hole. I feel I might now like to read Maud's autobiography.
Thanks again Believer

Oh! This is what I'm looking for too Rex! Thanks. All for my dossier of convincement

Did Amnesty ever respond to Maya's letter?

Not to my knowledge

Yes. Just did a quick Google and can't find anything. Thanks anyway Rex.

Do they also still have a pimp on their board?

?? are they obligatory on every board these days?

Where do they recruit them from. Is there something like Office Angels for men with dodgy parts? or even pasts!!

Hi yes I'd like a mediocre manager in a gimp suit please. Start on Monday? Great thanks
