Incredible news that UK Gov has finally ratified the #IstanbulConvention! Though we are disappointed that the gov has avoided ratification of Article 59, meaning migrant survivors of #DomesticAbuse will not benefit from the convention's protections.

Had a bit of a fangirl moment meeting Baroness Hale 🤩🕷

[Support Through Court @SupportTCourt]

We're grateful to Baroness Hale, one of our Patrons, for supporting our urgent appeal and helping us keep the doors to justice open.

We’d love some news on this soon please @MoJGovUK - every year your funding enables us to support thousands of people facing court alone. Now we’re at risk of closing our doors on those who can’t access legal aid, or afford a lawyer. Your investment makes a world of difference.

[Support Through Court @SupportTCourt]

Promising news from the MoJ - we hope that we'll be able to apply for a grant soon. However, we don't know what the timeframes are, or if we'll be eligible for the grant. Read more @lawsocgazette

[Support Through Court @SupportTCourt]

No one should face court alone. But with cuts to funding, we're facing the prospect of closing our doors to some of the people that most need our help and support.

"Really wish that I had spent more time appreciating it when it was all happening instead of just worrying about when it would end." #ThisIsUsFinalChapter

[Esther Elshen @EstherElshen]

Just watched the final episode of #ThisIsUs and I’m bawling. Partly because that’s what happens to me episode after emotional episode, and partly because I’ll never watch it new again 😭

[Support Through Court @SupportTCourt]

Based in #Liverpool, #Leeds, #Manchester or #Newcastle?

We're looking for volunteers to help us support people facing court without a lawyer.

If you're interested in access to justice and a good listener, we'd love to hear from you.

I love that the International Day of Women Judges is now a thing.

In 2020 women represented 32% of all court judges in the UK. This figure is lower for more senior roles.

[Support Through Court @SupportTCourt]

Today is the first ever International Day of Women Judges.

'Women judges enhance the legitimacy of courts, sending a powerful signal that they are open and accessible to those who seek recourse to justice.' @UN

[Kerrie Stevenson @drkstevenson]

On this #IWD2022 we celebrate all women and girls across the world.

I want to celebrate the bravery of millions of women who, like Viktoria, are living in war zones.

Grateful to work with @kgbaxter_ @carmenoloughlin @AlisonByam @etaylorlondon @SheeranGeorgina and many others not on Twitter!

[Support Through Court @SupportTCourt]

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! We're grateful for the amazing women we work alongside - lawyers, judges, volunteers, court staff, colleagues and supporters.

Work with an amazing woman? Tag them here to let them know you're cheering them on 👇

@pascals_penguin Sorry you’ve missed your half term!! That’s rubbish. Hope you’re ok X

[Esther Elshen @EstherElshen]

I’m not sure whether this is reassuring or terrifying when I’m about to get on a flight…
