Deserved recognition for Steve Mallen in the New Year’s Honours List. It’s nearly 10 years since he lost his son Edward to suicide and he’s fought for change ever since. “I dedicate this to my lovely lad,” he says. Our 2017 interview: t.co/hGcY9my287

Morning breaks outside the courthouse in Avignon. Quite incredible scenes as #GisèlePelicot’s supporters gather to sing her name. All while dozens of rape suspects file pass, covering their faces with masks or balaclavas - bags packed ready for prison 🧵

Sara Sharif is not the first to be murdered by those meant to love and protect - just the latest smiling young face to be held up as a symbol of this country’s child protection failings. What chance the “lessons will learned” rhetoric will actually mean something this time? My piece:

Behind Sara Sharif’s smile was a life of violence and torture

First post here and on a critical but hidden issue - the sheer scale of economic abuse in the UK. The government has been urged to go further in clamping down on how abusers are able to trap women by financial means. Very grateful to Rebecca for sharing her horrendous ordeal t.co/yypZH9BrPU
