Well not exactly a surprise, but if anyone wants to read what they have said their report is at https://www.secularism.org.uk/news/2025/09/nss-report-religious-charities-promoting-misogyny-with-impunity

Yes, whilst religions are allowed to be Charities it is no surprise.

Obviously the traditional British religions aren't perfect, abuse, homophobia and sexism are still around. They have adapted, to a certain extent, to the world around them - in Britain anyway. I'm all for anyone believing in any kind of god they like, but when their religion actively breaks countries laws or incites prejudice, discrimination or violence then that countries laws should take precedent.
Does Judaism or Islamism encourage these actions in its holy books or is it the interpretation of the faith leader in each case?

Previous thread from last week:

Also from a few days before that, a case the NSS highlighted, though MN discussion got kind off sidetracked: https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/5418279-faith-school-where-women-are-banned-from-wearing-trousers-becomes-state-funded

Sorry didn't see previous thread. Not sure if its because I am still having trouble with colours, or ...

Wish there was a way to merge duplicate threads.

What they always do. Fuck all.

Sorry, that was a kneejerk assumption. I've no idea, but if they're doing something I will eat my hat.

It was off the front page, so not surprising you didn't see it. Just letting people know if they want to go read what else has been said.

Piss all, it seems, because "advancement of religion." All of these organisations need to have Government funding pulled. The Charity Commission needs a kick in the nuts and a knee in the face.

Fucking Hell, words of advice? They are evidently entirely unfit for purpose. They are, essentially, endorsing marital rape, DV, coercive control and FGM.
