FiLiA Statement on Amnesty International UK

FiLiA is issuing a public statement on the misogynist and sexual abusive language used by protesters targeting our feminist annual conference, held on October 16-17th in Portsmouth. They were using some Amnesty International signs and the organisation has distanced itself from the "threatening and aggressive language" used by their protesters. FiLiA rejects Amnesty International's attempts to distance itself from the toxic climate of abuse and intimidation feminists have been forced to endure and their organisation has helped to create.
