When someone reports rape, their previous disclosures of sexual violence can be used against them, even if unrelated to the case. ❗️With Centre for Women's Justice Imkaan Rape Crisis England & Wales Rights of Women we're calling for the Victims and Courts Bill to put a stop to this. endviolenceagainstwomen.org.uk/end-bad-charac…

I'm extremely pleased to see the government announce that it is going to repeal the presumption of parental involvement. This is a huge victory for Claire Throssell MBE and others have fought tirelessly to ensure children lives aren't put at risk due to unsafe contact orders.

We have long called for children’s welfare and survivors of domestic abuse to be prioritised in child contact cases in the family courts. The Ministry of Justice announcement to repeal the presumption of parental involvement is a positive step forward. theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/o…

Landmark decision in the family courts, which should never rely on reports from unregulated psychologists. Thanks to Rights of Women for your advocacy for survivors and to Hannah Summers The Bureau of Investigative Journalism for bringing public attention to how women and children are failed by the family courts.
