Chief executive Sandy Brindley broke her silence on the scandal surrounding Mridul Wadhwa, who resigned from the Edinburgh centre after a damning report last week.
The boss of Rape Crisis Scotland who helped appoint the transwoman to a sexual violence support service that “damaged” victims claims she is unaware of calls for her to quit.
Both Brindley and Greens MSP Maggie Chapman, who served as ERCC’S chief operating officer from January 2020 - January 2021, supported Wadhwa’s recruitment and backed her after the centre lost an employment tribunal this year. Mary Howden, of the Women’s Rights Network Scotland, said: “Sandy Brindley, the trustees and Mirdul Wadwha have been so driven in their ideo-logical belief of gender identity and self-ID, they have allowed these beliefs to override the needs of vulnerable women who have been sexually assaulted.”
