Student fails to sue University of Bristol over trans bullying claims

A University of Bristol student has failed to prove that university allowed her to be bullied by trans rights activists. Raquel Rosario Sanchez sued the university for negligence, breach of contract and sex discrimination, over claims the institution failed to protect her from harassment and bullying by the activists.

But a judge dismissed her claims today (April 21), saying the university had not failed in its duty of care, the BBC reported. Ms Rosario Sanchez claimed that the university had failed to protect her from a "hate campaign" over her links with a women's rights group in 2018.

Her case was heard at the Bristol Civil and Family Justice Centre, where she said she was targeted because of involvement with campaign group Women's Place UK. The group describes its aim as “to end violence, harassment and abuse of women and girls”.
