JK Rowling putting her money where her mouth is

Yes. How about some 're education' for men not necessarily on gender stuff but just not inflicting violence including sexual violence on women.

Thank you I pleased to hear that Rosie51

They won't or shouldn't be able to close it down, that's why she is funding it all herself and not going for charity status. Those who vilify and abuse her won't have any basis for their vindictiveness.

Good news, thank you. J.K.R.

Wondering if the authorities will try to close it as it does conform.

Well done Joanne Rowling

It's dreadful that there is a continuing need for centres like these but obviously there is room for a further one.
There must be a need, too, for more re-education of those who perpetrate this violence on women and girls.

Can there ever be too many? Not everyone would necessarily feel comfortable with a rape crisis centre led by a trans woman so it's good that there's one for those who wouldn't.

There is already a rape crisis centre in Edinburgh but it's led by a transwoman and they include gender 're education' for women recovering from sexual assault and rape. Hence the rather pointed nature of JK's new service. I wonder what will happen to the other service?

Hopefully it will continue providing for those who need it, and being funded. We have a new one in Brighton. There is clearly a need for both types of centres ..

Absolutely great, and sadly much needed.

After all the dreadful abuse she has suffered online she still has the goodness of heart to do this.. she's a wonderful writer and clearly a special person as well...

What a marvellous thing to do,

She's amazing isn't she.

Her commitment to women, and especially those who have been victims of sexual violence, is so heartening. Well done JKR!

Good for her - and very good indeed for all those females who need a safe place👍

Well done that lady.

Good on her, admirable.

Amazing woman. Good for JK! Well done to her.

Would that there were more like her. Well done, JKR!

Good for her!

Spot on! Go for it JK 👍

Wonderful. Good woman.

Amazing lady, thumbs up to JK 👍
