Exhaustion, the realisation of what I am up against and the sadness of the vote against court transcripts being foc has meant it’s been a difficult week. Rather overwhelming.

Someone said to me
‘ Rest, recover and regroup. The cause isn’t going anywhere’…

Pleased to see this. And the results that come from it. I would have loved to have had my case heard in front of a judge who actually understood coercive control.

Women should come forward to report rape.

Too few women and you're called a liar & making false accusations

Too many and the rapist will get off on a technicality because too many women are complaining

What is the perfect number of women who need to be raped to make it count?

Every year thousands of rapists and abusers get let off scot-free for their crimes, and the small number of criminals who are actually held accountable get their convictions overturned because... they assaulted too many women? That is some mental gymnastics

The burden of telling your story over and over again is a heavy one to cary. But headlines are only made when stories are shared. I am taking a few days out to rest and recoup. #OpenJusticeForAll #Survivor

BBC News (UK)’ article touches on the tip of the iceberg as to why charging for court transcripts is such a problem.

Survivor Juliana Terlizzi says that 'It is utterly shameful that the government expects to keep victims in the dark for yet another year” bbc.in/3QjRdJh

This is an issue that should be addressed and changed as soon as possible!

The House of Lords had the opportunity to support survivors by supporting OpenJusticeForAll 's campaign and reducing transcript costs.

Unfortunately, they have chosen not to- a disservice to victims and…

The news of Weinstein’s rape overturn is another kick in the stomach for victims of rape. Look out for each other because these blows are hard to handle. Every. Single. Time.

Why the government can’t see the amendment should have been passed is beyond me. Victims deserve to understand what was said in my trial. Together we rise again. Thank you for your support Dr Charlotte Proudman

Devastating to see. Ever grateful to Criminal Justice Committee Justice for the immediate action, tenacity, and work to secure the Scottish Pilot. Victims/Survivors in England deserve the same - the basic human right to their own information. Charlotte Meijer, Juliana Terlizzi, OpenJusticeForAll

Thank you to those brave women who spoke to me abut this... Rape survivors 'disgusted' over no free trial transcripts bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

'The House of Lords had the chance to do the right thing for victims and survivors and back this amendment to reduce transcript costs, and I am absolutely disgusted and disappointed that they have failed to do so.

'Kind words do not go far enough for people like me who are sick…

Tonight, 10pm. This series has the capacity to save lives. As I tell my story, experts comment & explain the manipulation tactics used by my ex bf, who is now serving an 18-yr sentence.
I hope this can help victims of abuse to identify the Red Flag(s) while there's still time.

Spoke with Frankie McCamley
about victims being treated yet again as an afterthought.

We will keep on 💪💪💪 until victims are granted access to such vital information!

Labour vows to end scandal which forces rape victims to pay £20,000 for court documents. OR Labour using our trauma for votes. You pick which one. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

Extremely disappointed to see 187 Conservative lords vote against our amendment today to reduce the cost of court transcripts for victims.

Justice should not have a price tag, and I will not give up this fight until the Justice Secretary hears our calls for change.

Labour vows to end scandal which forces rape victims to pay £20k for documents only IF they get to no.10.

Sure, let's use victims' struggle to get more votes. We will hold you to it Shabana Mahmood MP
