🗣️ "Children need to be listened to by the legal system... Our feelings matter." Powerful words from young people we heard at today’s launch of Victims in their own right? — the Domestic Abuse Commissioner’s report on children and domestic abuse. #DomesticAbuse #ChildJustice 1/3

👂Young people told @DA_Commissioner they weren’t listened to when decisions were made about contact with family members. Their experiences were overlooked or misinterpreted. #DomesticAbuse #FamilyCourt 2/3

📢 We are calling for legislation to ensure children’s voices are properly heard in Family Courts — and that safety is prioritised when deciding child arrangements. ⚖️ #ChildSafety #FamilyCourtReform #DomesticAbuse 3/3

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…

If you’ve survived sexual violence more than once, the justice system might use that against you. The use of so-called ‘victim bad character’ evidence is harming survivors. Join our campaign #BadExperiencesNotBadCharacter to help us change the law. 👉: bit.ly/4moP4KD

Pleased to see overwhelming parliamentary support to end the criminalisation and prosecution of women for abortion. The rise in such cases in recent years has been cruel, inappropriate and long overdue for change. BPAS Tonia Antoniazzi theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

When someone loses their life to domestic abuse, it is an appalling failure of our society, the state and the systems designed to keep us safe. With a robust monitoring system for domestic homicide reviews we can prevent future deaths and tackle abuse. bit.ly/3IIYIbz
