"Mapping the Anti-Rights Movement From the US to the UK" with Amnesty International UK
About this episode
Chiara Capraro discusses the mapping of anti-rights groups in the UK and their implications.
In this week's Stage Talk we were joined by Amnesty International UK’s Gender Justice Director Chiara Capraro. In a recent report, Chiara and her team mapped the structure and funding of 65 anti-rights groups operating across the UK. She shares the methodology behind the research, what it reveals about the current trajectory of rights-restriction campaigning, and what it could mean in the years ahead. We also explore the key similarities and differences between movements in the UK and the US. The talk was hosted by Charlotte Maher on Thursday February 12th 2026.
