Dear Secretary General,
We write jointly on behalf of Children of Transitioners and Trans Widows Voices to make a formal complaint regarding Amnesty International UK's reports Like a Snowball: The Growth and Impact of the Gender Critical Movement in the UK (May 2026) anA Growing Threat: The Anti-Rights Movement in the UK (July 2026).
Both organisations are deeply concerned that we have been included in these reports without any prior contact from Amnesty International UK. In the July report, our organisations are incorporated into what Amnesty describes as an "anti-rights ecosystem", which it states comprises organisations sharing *"values, goals, strategy and tactics".
Neither organisation was contacted before publication. We were not asked to explain our purpose, provide information about our work, correct any factual misuncerstandings or respond to the conclusions being drawn about us. We became aware of our inclusion only after publication.
Children of Transitioners and Trans Widows Voices are small, volunteer-led, grassroots organisations. We have no institutional funding, no paid staff, no legal department and no communications team. We exist solely to support people facing profoundly difficult personal circumstances, particularly women and children who have experienced abuse or family breakdown- people whom we would have expected Amnesty International to protect, not publicly characterise as part of an "anti-rights" movement.
Children of Transitioners exists to support the children of parents who identify as transgender. One of the issues we have raised is the impact on children when they are pressured to suppress or deny their own beliefs, relationships or experiences in order to affirm a parent's gender identity. A number of legal claims seeking to establish a right to compel such affirmation have been rejected by the courts. Yet throughout these developments Amnesty International has never sought to engage with, or publicly acknowledge, the experiences and human rights concerns of the children we exist to support.
This is difficult to reconcile with Amnesty International's own charitable objectives. According to its stated purposes, Amnesty exists to promote and protect the human rights set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, to moniter human rights abuses, to seck redress for victims, and to relieve the needs of those affected by human rights violations. From our perspective, the complete absence of engagement with the children and families we represent, while simultaneously categorising our organisations as part of an "anti-rights" movement without consultation, appears inconsistent with those objectives
The inclusion of small, grassroots victim-support organisations such as ours within a report describing an "anti-rights movement", risks serious reputational harm, may deter vulnerable women and children from seeking support, and creates the impression that the experiences and human rights of the people we support have been discounted. Given that neither organisation was contacted and no organisation-specific evidence has been published, we ask why Amnesty International has chosen to publicly characterise victim-support organisations in this way.
We therefore ask Amnesty International UK to explain: the basis on which Children of Transitioners and Trans Widows Voices were included in these reports and classified as part of an "anti-rights" movement why neither organisation was contacted before publication or given an opportunity to comment; and what process Amnesty will now follow to review our inclusion in light of the concerns set out in this letter.
If Amnesty maintains that our organisations have been accurately characterised, we ask that you identify the evidence relied upon in reaching that conclusion.
We hope Amnesty will recognise that organisations supporting vulnerable women and children should not be publicly associated with an "anti-rights' movement without transparent evidence and a fair opportunity to respond.
Accordingly, we ask Amnesty International UK to conduct an urgent review of the inclusion of our organisations in these reports; remove Children of Transitioners and Trans Widows Voices firom the reports if that inclusion cannot be properly evidenced- publish an appropriate correction and public apology for the harm caused by our inclusion; and provide a substantive written response addressing the issues raised in this letter.
We hope this matter can be resolved constructively. However, if it cannot, we will consider what further steps may be appropriate, including referring our concerns to the Charity Commission and any other appropriate bodies.
We look forward to your response
Yours faithfully, Children of Transitioners Trans Widows Voices
