Great to see coverage from @SkyNews this morning on our campaign to end the presumption of child contact with abusive parents! Michelle, an anonymous survivor and mother who fought to protect her child from an abuser, speaks on the need for change.

"This is a national emergency – and it requires a commensurate response." Claire Waxman welcomed the govt’s landmark VAWG strategy but warned that "funding is critical" if the plan is to avoid becoming "less than the sum of its parts." Full statement 🔗 https://t.co/gp67DEc7yG

“Survivors deserve better. Children deserve better. The system must change” – @DrProudman https://t.co/30bkPz6cu1

The black boxes in the Epstein files erase every single victim and their story. Gisèle Pelicot waived her anonymity and was believed. Virginia Giuffre did the same and was vilified. That’s the double bind. Victims stay invisible and be ignored or speak out and be destroyed.

We dedicate our work this year to the loving memory of Jack and Paul, son's of @clairethrossell MBE. May 2026 bring renewed hope, safety and support for children in the #familycourts and beyond

It’s giving minimum effort, maximum vacation vibes.

Misogyny in the family courts is not theoretical. Dr Charlotte Proudman acted in landmark cases exposing these failures. At Proudmans, that same legacy of precedent-setting advocacy now informs strategic, trauma-informed representation for clients today.

(5/5) The measures in the strategy are important first steps but we must go further to ensure our family justice system is no longer complicit with perpetrators, truly trauma-informed, and dedicated to keeping children safe. https://t.co/YElUuTRlPp

(4/5) We urge the Ministry of Justice to make these the first steps, and then go further to truly change the culture so that family courts are responding to the realities of domestic and sexual abuse. 📣

(3/5) But to achieve this vision, we need to go further than the measures announced today

(2/5) We share their vision of a family court that is accountable, that prioritises safety and above all prioritises the welfare of children.

(1/5) Right to Equality is pleased to see that the Government’s new Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Strategy has recognised the importance of reforming family courts in order to halve VAWG 🩷

Judges and magistrates must maintain neutrality both inside and outside the courtroom and when they don’t, there MUST be real consequences.

📍This case must serves as an example as to how the justice system must deal with impartiality and public confidence with members of the Judiciary.

The JCIO found that she shared the video without properly considering its impact, and then defended her actions without showing insight or due diligence — behaviour deemed incompatible with the standards expected of someone entrusted with judicial authority.

A magistrate from the South & West Devon bench has been officially reprimanded for serious misconduct after sharing a video in a parish council WhatsApp group that an independent watchdog said could be considered transphobic.

Forcing a child to bear a rapists name has untold impacts on a child's identity. For her mother, she'll have to teach her child her rapists name. She'll have to hear it everyday. Fill it out on forms. The name becomes a constant reminder of the rape. It's a torture. What's worst

Justice must be more than just a word — it must be seen to be done. ⚖️ When justice operates in the open, it stops secrecy and corruption from taking root, and it strengthens accountability at every level of power.

No one should be shielded from scrutiny because of status or position, nor should survivors’ voices be dismissed or ignored. 🔍 The legal system should protect the vulnerable and not the powerful. Read Full Article Below ⬇️ https://t.co/OLdvpsNGFi

The Met must now proceed with this re-opened investigation as a priority. The victim-survivors in this case have already waited over a decade for answers.

After the Independent Inquiry into Childhood Sexual Abuse, we know that high-ranking perpetrators and those connected to influence can evade accountability, particularly when the victims are children.

📢 Right to Equality is deeply trouble by revelations a Met officer has been accused of running a VIP paedophile ring, which included an MP and a judge, that sexually abused young girls in care.
