raising awareness in the media
We engage proactively with the media to shape how violence against women and girls is understood and reported. By placing survivors’ voices at the forefront, we push for coverage that is accurate, sensitive and focused on the realities of their experiences. Our aim is not just to raise awareness, but to transform media narratives and drive meaningful cultural change.

SISTER IN LAW
For more than a quarter of a century, Harriet Wistrich has fought the corner of people from all walks of life let down by our justice system.
She has been at the forefront of some historic and ground-breaking legal victories, from helping the victims of taxi driver and serial rapist John Worboys, to representing a pioneering group of the women caught up in the 'spy cops' scandal — women deceived into forming long-term relationships with men later revealed to be undercover police officers.
Exploring landmark cases, Sister in Law covers the shocking true stories demonstrating that, terrifyingly often, the law is not-fit-for-purpose for half the population and shines a feminist light on the landscape of arcane laws and systems skewed towards men.
