Conflict of Interests

Our articles tagged with “EHRC” reveal a deeply concerning picture of the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s (EHRC) actions and their impact on the trans community. We consistently find evidence of collusion with anti-trans groups, conflicts of interest, and a failure to uphold the human rights of transgender people.

Engagement with Gender Critical Groups

A significant portion of our articles focuses on the EHRC’s engagement with so-called “gender critical” groups. We document how the EHRC has sought input from these groups, while excluding trans voices and organizations, thereby undermining the principles of impartiality and fairness. We also highlight the EHRC’s use of trans hostile language and concepts such as “single-sex spaces”.

Conflicts of Interest

Our investigations expose multiple conflicts of interest involving EHRC board members, including their work on cases and with organizations that are openly hostile to trans rights. We question the political influence over appointments to the EHRC board, as well as the lack of transparency in their decision-making processes.

Failure to adhere to Human Rights standards

We detail the EHRC’s failure to adhere to international human rights standards, as highlighted by the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI), which has issued strong criticisms of the EHRC. Our articles highlight the recommendations made by GANHRI and the EHRC’s failure to implement them, revealing a lack of accountability.

Undermining the Equality Act

Furthermore, our analysis reveals how the EHRC has attempted to undermine the legal protections for trans people under the Equality Act 2010. We discuss the EHRC’s guidance on “single-sex spaces” and its attempts to create barriers to trans people’s access to services and facilities.

Accusations of bias

We also note the EHRC’s statements and responses to accusations of bias, finding them to be inadequate, and demonstrating a lack of willingness to acknowledge their wrongdoings or take any responsibility for their failings.

Conclusion

In conclusion, our articles tagged with “EHRC” paint a picture of an organization that has lost its way and is failing in its duty to protect the rights of all. We show how it has become a vehicle for anti-trans activism, with a blatant disregard for the human rights of transgender people. Our overall message is one of deep concern about the EHRC’s current direction, and a call for urgent reform.
