Dr Charlotte Proudman shares the story of a rape survivor she represented who was told by a family court judge that if she continued with her rape allegations against the child’s father, her child could be put into foster care or adopted. Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/is-…

This is an important opportunity to ensure that clear communication, and effective safeguarding are in place. Survivors deserve to be informed, and supported when decisions affect their lives. victimscommissioner.org.uk/news/prime-min… #EarlyReleaseSchemePaused #ProtectVictims

I welcome the Prime Minister's commitment to urgently review the prisoner early release policy. I am clear: victim safety cannot be compromised. Read my full statement: victimscommissioner.org.uk/news/prime-min…

Women are told to report rape. To put their lives under a microscope. To endure years of investigations, cross-examination and trauma in the name of justice. Victims don’t get an early release from what happened to them. Why should the people who inflicted it? What a disgrace.

Everyone responds to trauma differently. Recovery is rarely linear, and no one should feel pressured to meet expectations that don't reflect their own needs.

The absurdity of this article! Apparently the most important details were the £1.3 million house, the swimming pool, his salary, and his LinkedIn profile. Three people losing their lives seemed almost secondary. @LBC, readers really don’t need an estate agent’s brochure or a CV. They need clear, responsible reporting.

“Baby-faced.” Those are the first words the Express chose to describe a convicted perpetrator. Not the crime OR the child he att*cked. No, no. They went with his appearance. Then they tell us he sobbed. Poor him! This headline works hard to humanise the criminal before it acknowledges the harm he caused. @Daily_Express, editorial choices matter. Join our campaign.

You didn’t make bad decisions and wrong choices - the perpetrator did.

A coordinated national law enforcement response has been announced to tackle the evolving threat of organised drug-facilitated SA and domestic ab*se, including offences committed in person and shared via online networks. @NCA_UK nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/news/sexual-of… #BelieveSurvivors #EndVAWG

"Victims must not be an afterthought in decisions that directly affect their safety and wellbeing"

Victims must not be an afterthought in decisions that directly affect their safety and wellbeing. Govt must halt the early release of prisoners until proper safeguards, robust risk assessments and clear communication arrangements are in place. victimscommissioner.org.uk/document/lette…

We recently praised @BBCNews for getting it right - for naming the perpetrator, using active language, and showing that clear reporting on vi0lence is possible. This headline falls short. It centres the harm while removing the person who committed it. The passive construction hides responsibility and turns a vi0lent act into something that simply “happened”. Words matter. Especially from trusted outlets. BBC News, you have shown that you know how to do this better. We’re asking you to apply the same standard consistently - because accountability should never depend on the day, the case, or the editor. We’ll keep praising good reporting. And we’ll keep calling it out when it misses the mark. Join our campaign, link in our bio. #TheRightWords #LanguageMatters

WHEN DID MURDER BECOME A LOVE STORY? This headline doesn’t begin with the attack. It doesn’t begin with the perpetrator. Instead, it links a woman’s passing to her partner being “found dead”, turning a violent attack into what reads like a tragic relationship story. The reality is much simpler - and it should be reflected clearly, not as some gruesome soap opera. @WalesOnline - join us. Link in bio. Name the crime. Point out the perpetrator.

I'm incredibly passionate about ensuring lived experience helps shape a fairer justice system. Here's a recap of the Right to Be Reviewed journey so far...

Make Yourself Heard @MYH_ldn

a month ago

What started with one person's experience has become something much bigger. The Right to Be Reviewed campaign began with one simple belief: if a decision could end a victim's pursuit of justice, victims deserve the opportunity to be heard before that decision becomes final. 🧵

“We believe this was the correct decision, and we are thankful that our voices were heard throughout this process. While nothing can undo our family’s anguish, this outcome brings a greater sense of justice and accountability.” theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/j… #Justice #SurvivorVoices

@AnnOlivarius And still people ask, "why didn't you come forward sooner?"
