#PragnaPatel @SBSisters explained why the Domestic Abuse Bill is ‘profoundly discriminatory’ against migrant women. Positioned Bill as one part of the government’s ‘immigration enforcement agenda'. Example = no safe reporting measures for migrant women. Thank you. #RebLawUK20 4/4

@Hannah_Couchman focused on domestic abuse and intersectionality, misogyny and racism - for example, the link between the over-policing of black communities and the female black experience of the criminal justice system. Thank you. #RebLawUK20 2/4

And thank you to @fufuisonme for highlighting that law schools do not to educate students on how the legal system perpetuates racism. Us students must educate ourselves & study critical literature to understand how the legal system is not neutral and its other shortcomings. 3/3

Thank you also to @f_jichi for commenting on the role of lawyers in the anti-racist movement. Lawyers must listen to the communities at the forefront of this struggle. The law alone will not fix institutional racism for the legal system itself is an institution. 2/3
