Did you realise that if someone initiates sex while you’re asleep that is not consent? You can’t consent in your sleep. This is rape. Even in a relationship. Even in a marriage. #SexualAbuse #MaritalRape #DomesticAbuse #ConsentMatters #SurvivorVoices

I’ve represented women who’ve woken up during sex with their partner. Violated. Shaken. Silent. And told: “It’s normal.” “It’s what couples do.” No. It’s rape. #SexWhileSleeping #SexualAbuse #FamilyLaw #DomesticAbuse #BelieveSurvivors

Non-consensual sex while sleeping is an act of dominance, not desire. It’s about taking control of a body without permission. When survivors raise this in family court, they’re often dismissed. That has to change. #SurvivorJustice #SexualAbuse #FamilyLaw #TraumaInformed

Sexual abuse in intimate relationships is often the most hidden. When it happens in the dark, in silence, while the survivor is asleep it’s harder to speak about. But that doesn’t make it less violent. It makes it more so. #MaritalRape #DomesticAbuse #SurvivorVoices #EndVAWG

Woke up thinking about all the women who shared their stories after Breaking the Silence - Kate’s Story featuring my client Kate Kniveton. The legal system shouldn’t require survivors to be extraordinary to be believed. It should protect them. Full stop. #FamilyCourtReform

🔴 “Expert” witnesses in the Family Court are breaking families — and no one is watching. Let’s talk "once again" about the regulated and unregulated experts trusted with life-altering decisions about children. ➡️ Many are recomended repeatedly by CAFCASS — often the same

Every message, every share, every survivor who’s spoken up since Breaking the Silence aired confirms what we already knew: This isn’t rare. It’s happening every day, in courtrooms, behind closed doors, in plain sight. The system must change. #BreakingTheSilence

Survivors shouldn’t need media coverage to be believed. They shouldn’t need to be MPs, professionals, or publicly “perfect” to be protected. The Family Court must stop enabling abuse and start centring safety. #FamilyCourtReform #PostSeparationAbuse #BreakingTheSilence

If you’re still thinking about Breaking the Silence, or watched it again on ITVX you’re not alone. What Kate Kniveton shared is the reality for so many women. Silenced, disbelieved, and retraumatised by the very system meant to protect them. We need urgent reform.
