Domestic abuse perpetrators are manipulating the justice system to extend their control over victims, so concludes a new major report published by Centre for Women’s Justice today.

On Monday we spoke to Fri Martin and others about how the criminal justice system was failing women who have been criminalised as a result of male violence. If you missed the event, you can watch now.

For one week only your donation is doubled! Help us provide legal advice to survivors of male violence so that they can appeal wrongful convictions and unjust sentences.

Sally Challen, Emma-Jayne Magson, Fri Martin: Three cases, and three years on, we join to celebrate the remarkable victories but to bemoan to continued injustice that so many victims of male violence face. We look at what has changed in the criminal justice response to such cases, what still needs to change and how you can help.

JUSTICE’s Chief Executive, Fiona Rutherford, has jointly written alongside Harriet Wistrich, Founding Director of the Centre for Women’s Justice, to Damian Hinds MP, the Minister for Security and Borders. The letter highlights our serious concerns with the consultation process for the draft revised Code of Practice to be issued pursuant to the Covert Human Intelligence Sources (Criminal Conduct) Act 2021 (also known as the ‘Spy Cops’ Bill).

CWJ’s comments on Priti Patel’s Home Affairs Select Committee statement re yesterday’s IOPC report into the behaviour of officers based in Charing Cross ,

We've tried to avoid litigation but we have been left with no choice.

If we lose we will have to pay the Home Secretary’s legal fees, which as a charity we can't afford to do. But we also feel we can't let this missed opportunity go unchallenged.

We would like to encourage everyone with expertise of the victims’ experience of the criminal justice system (be it professionally or personally) to put in a submission to this consultation, however short, and make your voice heard.

We have issued judicial review proceedings against the Home Secretary, Priti Patel MP, over the proposed inquiry into police perpetrated abuse. We had hoped to avoid this course of action, but have been forced to do so.

This year, we are raising funds to challenge police perpetrated abuse. For 7 days only, any donations given to this campaign will be matched. One Donation, TWICE The Impact

We are looking for a feminist lawyer, with a track record in actions against the police, to join our enquiries team assisting survivors and frontline women’s services with legal advice and support.
