Our courts are buckling under the strain. Rape victims wait for years for justice (which less than 2% of them get). And yet, CPS and police zealously go after women w miscarriages and victims of coercive control (who've already asked for their help). https://t.co/qMsRvOWjQB

It's not just boys. After all, they get it from somewhere, and that's not just the internet. Too many adult police officers, social workers, barristers, solicitors and judges also believe women are responsible for the sexual violence they endure. https://t.co/HVvXIlmmg1

"Sex with underage girls" is rape. Because children can't consent to sex. "Underage sex" = adult raping a child. It's not a difficult concept to grasp, so why do these headlines persist? https://t.co/tQOuKo9TWh

Misogyny kills. A perpetrator was radicalised online and believed he was legally justified in killing. Read the full case story in our 19 child homicides report here: https://t.co/XxcPtcfVmU

It’s never ok to target women with leering stares, uninvited sexual attention and intimidating remarks at any time. It’s abusive and it’s sexual harassment. Stop it by telling our charity what you know, 100% anonymously: https://t.co/Ckj4Bibk1f

'Family courts have become a playground for abusers.' I spoke to @MetroUK about the devastating impact of the presumption of contact and the weaponisation of pseudoscientific allegations of 'parental alienation'—two systemic failures putting survivors and children at risk. Read

There is no "mystery" here, just money. Platforms, theme parks, talent agencies and venues all profited from this man. Google "somehow" allowed his content to be up and despite his lack of profile or success, to get 12 million followers. https://t.co/iteieoJCAQ

67 children killed in 30 years. 19 in the last year alone. Killed during contact with fathers known to be abusive. Family courts are still failing children. Five years ago, the @MoJGovUK’s own Harm Report called for urgent reform. Nothing has changed. @womensaid report.

People make judgements based on their own experiences and frame of reference. It makes you wonder how little justice has been serving the family court, if the judge is abusive. I despair.
A family judge found to have abused their adopted children applied to the high court for anonymity - and has been granted it, despite the media arguing to name them. My @ObserverUK comment piece on a scandal; first, the child abuse, then the cover up:

1 in 6 children are sexually abused. If they name their father, family courts rarely believe them — instead, they accuse the mother of coaching the child to lie — and they lose custody. Read @debbieatmos article in the Mail and my book He Said She Said. https://t.co/gAwQ8kcKQG
