A petition protesting the decision has now garnered over 20,000 signatures
A domestic abuse charity in Brighton, UK, has lost £5million ($7M) in funding for not being gender-neutral.
After receiving funding for 26 years, the refuge and domestic abuse service 'Rise' had its funding pulled.
Brighton council chiefs decided that more support was needed for straight transgender and gay people, arguing Rise was a women-only service.
But campaigners fear such a decision will spread out nationwide and close women’s refuges putting many vulnerable female victims at risk.
Women’s Aid boss Nicki Norman said:
“We are deeply concerned."
