I am thrilled to share that I’ve achieved a landmark victory by successfully suing the Crown Prosecution Service for breaching my human rights by failing to prosecute my rapist. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Tune in to BBC Woman's Hour today, where I’ll be discussing my settlement from the Crown Prosecution Service. I'm proud of what this outcome represents. It’s been a challenging road, but the possibility of making a difference for others makes it all worth it. Huge love to the Centre for Women's Justice 💙

A police force admitted it “missed opportunities” in the case of a woman murdered by her husband – but says it has improved how it tackles coercive control. Angela was killed at her home in 2018, days after she spoke to a solicitor about getting a divorce. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

“There continue to be huge delays in rape cases progressing through the system – there are a range of reasons for this, many resource related – survivors report they can wait for months for even an update in the investigation and have to chase constantly” theguardian.com/society/articl…

Jane's experience of abuse wasn't mentioned at the first hearing of the charge against her. It took 2 years for the CPS to drop the charge. In the meantime proceedings against her ex-husband for coercive and controlling behaviour had been dropped following a series of failings.
