Like a snowball: the growth and impact of the gender critical movement in the UK
Verfasst: Mi 15. Jul 2026, 08:53
Executive Summary
At a time when human rights protections are being weakened across the board1, a
movement against the rights of women and LGBTI people is growing in the UK. In
recent years governments have passed laws that greatly limit the right to protest and
introduced draconian immigration and asylum rules. Since 2010, cuts to social
security and reduced funding for public services have worsened poverty and made
living conditions harder2. Amnesty International UK has spoken out against repeated
attempts to scrap the Human Rights Act and against calls from some politicians to
withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights.
