JK Rowling to fund gender-critical women's cases against employers and public spaces [View all]

https://uk.news.yahoo.com/jk-rowling-fund-gender-critical-125304053.html

JK ROWLING has opened a fund to bankroll cases for women “fighting to retain sex-based rights”.

The Harry Potter author, who donated to For Women Scotland’s gofundme to challenge the definition of gender under the Equality Act in the Supreme Court, has set up a fund to help gender critical women to pursue action against employers and public services.

The J.K. Rowling Women’s Fund (JKRWF) says it will provide funding to give women “the means and confidence to bring to justice cases that make legal precedents, force policy change, and make positive contributions to women’s lives in the future”.

It sets out a checklist for those applying, such as fighting a tribunal because of “their expressed beliefs” or being “forced to comply with unreasonable inclusion policies” in single sex spaces.
