3 years ago, the government apologised to rape survivors for systematically failing them and promised change.
So why are we still having to campaign for the justice system to stop harming survivors?
The government must address the court backlog and #KeepCounsellingConfidential !
An EVAW Coalition report found a concerning lack of public trust in public institutions to tackle #violenceagainstwomenandgirls ( #VAWG ).
46% of those questioned by YouGov did not trust schools to tackle sexual offences.

Daniel Kebede Young women and girls we spoke to shared experiences just like these in our #GirlsSpeak project, as well as EVAW Coalition's #AboutTime report.
The long-term impact on girl's self-worth, education, and livelihoods cannot be underestimated.

The government is failing to stand up to Big Tech, leaving young people submerged in a toxic world of online misogyny
If we are to prevent violence against women, platforms must be held to account for profiting from abuse

Solidarity with Selma Taha and friends who were subjected to racist violence. Not only denied justice, they now face being criminalised.
These shocking developments show the warped, racist logic of the criminal justice system and how it often harms those it is meant to protect.
On International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, we urge the government to end institutionalised discrimination by scrapping the hostile environment
We pledge to continue supporting Black, minoritised and migrant victim-survivors of abuse ✊

Today, we’re standing together to issue an urgent warning about the future of the #VAWG sector. Specialist services are facing a recruitment & retention crisis, jeopardising survivors’ access to life-changing support. The Government must act now to help!➡️

We call on James Cleverly🇬🇧 to reverse the Home Office's harmful changes to support for migrant victims and survivors.
The government can't end violence against women while stopping survivors coming forward for fear of immigration detention or removal from the UK!
