The Women's Declaration International (WDI), formerly the Women's Human Rights Campaign (WHRC), is an international advocacy organisation founded in the United Kingdom. WDI has published a Declaration on Women's Sex-Based Rights,[1] and has developed model legislation to restrict transgender rights that has been used in state legislatures in the United States.[2]
The organisation has been described as gender-critical,[3] anti-trans,[4][5][6][7][8][9] anti-LGBTQ+,[4][10] anti-gender,[11][12] trans-exclusionary,[13] trans-exclusionary radical feminist (TERF),[14][15] and as a hate group,[16] and in several countries the group has been linked to the far right.[17][18][19] The Southern Poverty Law Center consider it part of an "anti-LGBTQ+ pseudoscience network".[4][10] The largest U.S. feminist organization, the National Organization for Women, described WDI as "anti-trans bigots disguised as feminists."[20]
