Govtās pilot to provide free transcripts of sentencing remarks to all rape & sexual offence victims ends on 28 May. This pilot was a huge achievement of the OpenJusticeForAll campaign, & while we will push for the pilot to continue & expand, any eligible victims can still apply ā¬ļø

Last week we and 90 organisations and campaigns signed Woman's Trust letter calling on the government to fund long-term mental healthcare for survivors of domestic abuse. An investment of just Ā£28m/year would give survivors specialist and long-term provision counselling š§µā¬ļø


Woman's Trust and therapy. It's bad enough that survivors experience abuse in the first place - to be told there is no help afterwards is a tragedy. buff.ly/XNmq5dM




We fully support this from Victims' Commissioner for England & Wales & Dame Nicole Jacobs. If UK Prime Minister wants to halve #vawg it needs to ensure victims / survivors have the support they need to recover from their trauma - which aligns with our call for specialist mental health support. #GiveSurvivorsHope

Quick - we've got one place left in this year's Royal Parks Half. If you'd like to support our work providing free and specialist long-term mental health support for domestic abuse survivors, then drop us a message now š #vawg #womenwhorun #GiveSurvivorsHope

Does current funding support the right mix of VAWG services to: - respond to complex and diverse needs? - meet the Governmentās pledge to halve VAWG?
