Brian Rudman: Women's advocacy fails test for charity - Opinion - NZ Herald News

Brian Rudman: Women's advocacy fails test for charity - Opinion - NZ Herald News: "The Venerable National Council of Women is about to be defrocked of its charitable status, and the inheritors of the suffragist dream are not happy. Who could blame them?

They've fallen foul of an ancient British law, the Statute of Charitable Uses 1601 (Statute of Elizabeth), which makes no mention of 21st century 'advocacy' among its definition of charitable activities."
