Is this real? <skeptical> Or just collecting the details of vulnerable women?

Care to share the basis for those insinuations?

We’ll wait.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 23/05/2025 22:19

Wow! It is confirmed

https://x.com/jk_rowling/status/1926001653158666267?t=GzeDtTK_OepknYyDRra3Cg&s=19

Apologies for being doubtful, but a) it is a huge thing for her to do and b) it would be a great phishing site

I am amazed and grateful in equal measure.

Good lord, it's a completely private fund, looks like she's just paying out of her own pocket 😲

It needs to be open to donations! (Not because JKR is skint, but because it's fair).

murasaki · 23/05/2025 22:20

What a superstar she is.

Although it's awful that it is needed.

moggly · 23/05/2025 22:20

This is so wonderful of her!

Checking the domains we can see that jkrwf.com was registered in June 2024 and jkrwf.org registered Sept 2024, she must've been working on this for a while.

Pabbel · 23/05/2025 22:24

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant, thank you Jo.

PerformativeBewilderment · 23/05/2025 22:29

What an amazingly generous gift 🥰

That Times Rich List article made me think I couldn’t love her any more, and then this!

Brava!

Thelnebriati · 23/05/2025 22:34

The link in the OP has been shared from a Facebook post (I know I keep banging on about this) and its actually;

The J.K. Rowling Women’s Fund

A legal fighting fund for women protecting their sex-based rights

CorvusPurpureus · 23/05/2025 22:37

She's frankly awe inspiring. Bloody well done, & the timing...it's just absolute chef's kiss all round.

I think it's eminently sensible to do due diligence, rather than just blindly accepting things online.

Any scam artist can create a website. Of course you should verify its credentials.

Boston365 · 23/05/2025 22:37

She’s just fabulous! The threat of lawsuits as women are no longer silenced because they can’t afford representation is what will bring businesses and institutions in to line with the SC ruling.

Scout2016 · 23/05/2025 22:39

Isn't it wonderful her wealth came from writing books for children. Just such a pure sort of start, and look where it's gone. All rather fairytale in itself. Feeling a bit emotional!

mcduffy · 23/05/2025 22:44

I have goosebumps! I have my own fund of £25 per month for women’s causes, would love to divert to this!

NotMyRealAccount · 23/05/2025 22:44

People were saying on the India Willoughby thread that JKR should go high ... how high do you want? Absolute class!

And I'm sure those of us who habitually, er, garden in this area will be able to channel our resources into other worthwhile causes.

Bannedontherun · 23/05/2025 22:10

Oh my fucking giddy aunt. So the plan came together, eyeful witchy watch on cases that were of legal importance, won and won, and the final blow the SC ruling.

So next worry for us was for the women whose employers, or for services who dig their heals in or the next twist that comes along…

Do not worry fellow witches i have a spare bob or two to cement the ruling.

This is history in a way that has never been seen before one feminist who woke up to the fight, who has not been distanced by her wealth, a wealth so immense that could only have been acquired by her life experiences and a talent to express it.

It is a call to arms.

And it will be a story for history yet to be told

This made me well up a bit.

I wish there was something we could do to express how important she is to us.

What do you do for the woman who has/can buy everything she'd ever want?

It's a nice handwritten card, isn't it?

mcduffy · 23/05/2025 22:48

Yes @teawamutu I sent one years ago to her agent with a picture of my tiny daughters from behind, thanking her on their behalf. She’s just amazing and genuinely makes the world a better place.

teawamutu · 23/05/2025 22:53

I'm so tempted to wander over to Reddit to see what the TRAs are making of it. But this is such a lovely, inspiring thing that I'm not sure I want to go straight into their horrible frothings about black mould on the brain (nope, me either) and being a literal Nazi and racist and conversion therapy fan and never replacing the bog roll.

Otoh it's often unintentionally hilarious. Dilemmas.

BoreOfWhabylon · 23/05/2025 22:58

Oh, please do have a look and report back @teawamutu Grin

Oh please do take one for the team....

I don't think they've noticed yet. I guess all the 'safe spaces' are lacking in people who actually clock what's going on.

BettyBooper · 23/05/2025 23:18

What a thing of awesome. Taking the power back. Oh yes.

Thanks JK xxx

Morningsleepin · 23/05/2025 23:18

Incredible woman

Pixilicious1 · 23/05/2025 23:21

Just when you think she couldn’t do any better by women she goes and out does herself. Bloody Queen!

CraftandGlamour · 23/05/2025 23:26

What a woman! This is amazing!
