Roz Adams Wins Tribunal Against Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre; CEO's 'Kafkaesque' Actions Condemned

May 20, 2024, 11:00 AM

Roz Adams has won her case against the Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre (ERCC) after an employment tribunal found that she was discriminated against and constructively dismissed due to her gender-critical beliefs. The tribunal's judgment criticized ERCC's chief executive, Mridul Wadhwa, for leading a 'heresy hunt' against Adams, describing the investigation as 'Kafkaesque,' reminiscent of the works of Franz Kafka. The case highlighted issues within ERCC, including the treatment of survivors who requested support from biological female staff, which was denied. The judgment has led to calls for the resignation of ERCC's board and CEO. Adams was represented by Naomi Cunningham from the legal feminist organization, SexMattersOrg.
