Where’s the justice in the #justicesystem for this and so many other victims and their children???

Who do they turn to when the system consistently fail them???

What’s the point in reporting #domesticabuse to the police?????

[The Lioness Circle @lionesscircle]

1) The police failed her!
2) Social service failed her children!

3) And today the court system failed her & her children 🤯

Who wins?? THE PERPETRATOR, just like he told he her he would 💔😡

How much more should victims & children endure??? This is so 🤬sickening! 🤢

[Women's Aid @womensaid]

[1/5] Women’s Aid and 76 member organisations issue a joint letter to the Home Secretary following the Southport attack demanding it be seen as part of the wider epidemic of violence against women and girls plaguing the country.

Gaslighting at its finest, to say the least.

[C. @cstsher]

brilliant speech by @BellRibeiroAddy. A disgrace that the descendants of slaves will have until 2015 seen their taxes used to pay off a debt that benefitted those who had enslaved them, rather than received reparations for the crime of slavery perpetrated against their ancestors

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

#ChildBenefit update - pls share

After my Twitter poll earlier which indicates 80% of those expecting child benefit payments this morning haven't got them, we contacted HMRC. It's told us...

- 30% of people who should have been paid today haven’t been (possible, the poll is self selecting so those who haven't got are more likely to respond), this still likely means huge numbers of people.

- HMRC doesn’t have an exact cause or timeframe on fixing the problem to share at this stage! Though it is working on it urgently.

- It request people DON'T call it right now about this (it won't help till they sort. We'll update when we hear more).

- Once the issue has been fixed, if people are out of pocket, they should complain to HMRC for redress (so I'd suggests this means if you've had a charge as a payment bounced due to no Child Benefit, note it down and then later try asking it to cover that charge).

More updates when we have them

[Dr Adrienne Barnett @BarnettAdrienne]

Survivors who are involved in family court proceedings and are litigants in person can be stitched up like a kipper. Courts need to be alive to this and prevent this happening otherwise they’re colluding with the abuser. They need to ensure that the survivor has a copy of the CVs of any proposed experts, that they are given enough time to identify and propose an expert, that they have input into the letter of instruction and questions to the expert, and that the bundle sent to the expert is complete and doesn’t omit the survivor’s evidence. Any changes of experts need to be discussed and agreed with the survivor and not dumped on them as a fait accompli.

[The Lioness Circle @lionesscircle]

It’s so empowering to see women like MP Kate Kiveton having survived #DomesticAbuse & had to fight for years in #familycourts to protect her daughter, uses her lived experience to build a stronger platform for change.

The @lionesscircle stands in solidarity with you Kate 💪🏾🫶🏾

[The Lioness Circle @lionesscircle]

After 10 years of an abusive marriage including rape, and a 5yrs court battle, ex MP Andrew Griffiths has been barred from contact with his child as he failed to show he “understand or acknowledge the impact his conduct had on the child”.
