Since when did autism become the go-to excuse for allegedly sexually harassing women? Autism isn’t the problem. ‘Middle-aged’ women aren’t either. Gregg is.

Thank you Sarah Sackman KC MP for highlighting the devastating impact of court backlogs on victims. Every day of delay denies them justice and deepens their trauma. The Government must act now to deliver urgent reform and restore trust in a timely and effective justice system.

Thank you to BBC Woman's Hour for having me on to discuss my latest report on why victims are quitting the justice process. Thanks to ‘Barbara’ for bravely sharing her experience — a powerful reminder of why the reforms I’m calling for are so urgently needed bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Shocking: "40% of all victims in the examined offences withdrew from the justice process prior to a charging decision. When combined with the 52% of cases in which the investigation is stopped for other reasons, and considering the Crime Survey for England and Wales estimates

Ida B. Wells, born #OnThisDay in 1862, was a groundbreaking journalist and activist who believed in the power of truth to galvanize people to unite for change. Her courageous resistance continues to inspire us all.

Too many victims feel forced to walk away from justice. New Victims’ Commissioner London shows why: the system is convoluted and draining. It also shows what works: if we want victims to stay engaged, we must invest in the services that support them. My statement: victimscommissioner.org.uk/news/london-vi…

We welcome action on perpetrators, but call out the lack of funding for frontline services that support women and children when they need it most. With the new VAWG strategy due in September, we urge the Government to listen, invest, and act.

Rape Crisis concerned by Home Office decision to invest £53m in Drive Project. I get this completely. It’s hard to see major investment go toward perpetrator programmes while survivor services continue to struggle for funding. rapecrisis.org.uk/news/rape-cris…

Anyone 'lucky' enough to have their case make it to trial will not be surprised at these disappointing findings. We deal with truama from the rape , truama from the trial and then truama from dealing with the CPS .

69% of rape victims withdraw before their case even reaches court. The justice system is failing. If we want to keep people safe, we need faster justice, access to better support, and a system that doesn’t retraumatise victims. We need urgent change. standard.co.uk/news/crime/vic…

We need the VRR pilot to become permanent. This should be a basic right for victims. Mistakes are made, but we need to be able to correct them. Jade Blue has been campaigning for a better VRR for years with hope that others won't be let down by the system like she was.

This right here! EVERY victim of abuse should read Dr. Jessica Taylor 's note. As I waited nearly two years to see my rapist face trial, I was told by a Met officer to go to GP and get medication to deal with my anxiety, while in fact I feared for my life as he was released on bail

The Law Commission’s recommendations reflect what survivors have asked for all along: proper legal advice, stronger protections, and an end to trials shaped by rape myths. lawgazette.co.uk/news/law-commi…

Too many victims of sexual offences are re-traumatised by their experiences in court. Law Commission's proposed reforms could change this, and safeguard victims' privacy, dignity and rights throughout the justice process. My full statement⬇️

A GP publicly attacking his son’s rape victim, even after conviction and confession, is a serious breach of ethics. It raises real concerns about patient safety and professional accountability. bbc.com/news/articles/…

I’ll still never be able to understand how seemingly normal people can support abusers and rapists. It shows just how deep the misogyny in our society runs and how reluctant we are to support victims. No amount of slander or victim-blaming will ever make what happened to me okay.

1 in 8 women faced sexual assault, domestic abuse or stalking last year, new data shows. The ONS confirms it: violence against women is not rare. What’s rare is justice. What’s rare is being able to access local support. What’s rare is accountability. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Three Rape Crisis centres have closed in the past year. Of the remaining centres, a third risk closure – and half are worried they may have to cut counselling services. This is a funding crisis – we urgently need more government funding 📢 Read the report rapecrisis.org.uk/news/more-than…

I used to be a pastry chef. I trained at a classic French culinary school—arguably the most prestigious one in the world. After returning from a year abroad working at a bubbly NYC restaurant, a friend encouraged me to apply for a televised pastry competition. I didn’t take it
