We are absolutely OVER THE MOON to read today's judgement from the High Court of Justiciary Appeal Court on corroboration!! At long last the gateway to justice for rape victims in Scotland is opening, and we are proud beyond words of our contribution towards making this possible.

Many thanks to Russell Findlay MSP and Sharon Dowey MSP for taking the time to meet us yesterday. We had a great discussion about the changes to the corroboration law, and our concerns about the Government's proposed Victims Witnesses and Justice Reform Bill.

This is such an important campaign - please sign the petition and share it with others. Jurors who believe in rape myths and victim stereotypes allow rapists to walk free. Petition: Require jurors in rape trials to complete mandatory training on rape myths petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6414…

Getting justice for survivors is a long road. We have had amazing support especially since the BBC Panorama. Thank you ❤️Far too many people know that slow acting poison. My guest on Different (link in the bio) is an inspiration. Here’s why.

An update on today's meeting from Sooz, we were both very happy with the update provided by the Lord Advocate COPFS today and grateful for her time. Changes are coming and better access to justice is on the horizon 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚖❤

After more than 6 years of campaigning for reform of corroboration we are truly hopeful that the Lord Advocate wins this case. She supports our campaign because she too believes that women+girls in Scotland deserve better than outdated laws which act as barriers to justice 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ⚖

Just a reminder of why we have been campaigning for reform of corroboration. Listen to Emma talking about the issues presented by corroboration on BBC Woman's Hour in 2020.
