There is a strong moral argument against denying protection to victim-survivors with NRPF.

Our model resources present a robust financial case to complement this moral argument.

Join us online on 24 Apr as we launch these resources.

The scale of abuse-related suicides shows the devastating impact of abuse on victims' mental health.

Alongside improvements in the mental health support available to victims, there is a need for a step change in the sentencing framework.

We know from our work at the frontline that Black, minoritised and migrant victims of VAWG are continually let down by the system.

Such reports contribute to victims' loss of trust in the system and can impede them from coming forward.

We intend to follow this case closely.

We stand with @SELMATAHA and her friends, who not only endured a racist attack, but are now facing a legal battle as a result. Criminalising victims of racism in this way is appalling.

Our hearts are with Kulsuma Akter's loved ones.

We are outraged that the accused was granted bail despite having assaulted and threatened to kill her. Her homicide is another example of women being let down due to systemic failure to treat MVAWG with the seriousness it deserves.

The Roma community has historically been subject to persecution and systemic injustice. Today, on International Roma Day, we celebrate their fortitude and urge an end to discrimination against Romani people and all ethnic minorities anywhere in the world.
