🌟 The passing of the Employment Rights Act is a vital step towards safer workplaces for women. Stronger duties to prevent sexual harassment, longer tribunal time limits, better protection for whistleblowers and limits on NDAs move us closer to cultures of accountability.

We’re calling for the ‘Released under investigation’ system to be scrapped - it “doesn’t serve anyone’s interests apart from the police” and leaves victims unprotected while suspects wait years with no oversight. Read more: theguardian.com/society/2025/d…

The family court system plays a vital role in tackling violence against women and girls (VAWG) so we're calling for investment in, and reform of, the family justice system. Read this excellent write up of our new policy paper in the Guardian: theguardian.com/law/2025/nov/0…

📺 EVAW's Director Andrea Simon spoke to @SkyNews about the ban on strangulation in porn. This is a vital step in recognising the role violent porn plays in shaping attitudes and driving dangerous behaviours, as well as regulating an industry that promotes and profits from VAWG.

Landmark decision in the family courts, which should never rely on reports from unregulated psychologists. Thanks to @rightsofwomen for your advocacy for survivors and to @hansummers @TBIJ for bringing public attention to how women and children are failed by the family courts.
Hannah Summers@hansummers

NEW: A mother has won a landmark legal bid to overturn the evidence of a psychologist which led to her kids being removed. For the last 5yrs she has only seen them twice a month under strict supervision based on Melanie Gill's advice to a family judge. 🧵 tinyurl.com/4z2cm2m4
