EVAW Coalition
@EVAWuk
We're a coalition of women’s support services, researchers, activists, survivors and NGOs campaigning to end all forms of violence against women.
- Whole criminal justice system response to rape to be reviewed - following alarming drop in charging rate despite massively increased reports to police #RapeJusticeFail #MeToo #ibelieveher
- We are facing the 'decriminalisation of rape', warns @VictimsComm in her first annual report - hope Government sits up & listens if someone so significant has to say something so shocking #RapeJusticeNow
- ⬇️⬇️⬇️ This everyday violence against women, and the mountains of excuses for it, are why we need political policies and action - Put women’s rights at heart of campaign, parties urged (£) #GE2019WomenAndGirls thetimes.co.uk/article/ca9c67…
- Replying to @EVAWuk...here’s what 30 women’s orgs including us want the political parties to commit to #GE2019WomenAndGirls
- I was also booked for @BBCWomansHour this AM and heard the appalling treatment @kelechnekoff was subjected to minutes b4 broadcast; it was really unfair and then led to a #MeToo discussion with no black woman's voice. Woman's Hour shd apologise to her and really must do better.
- The Weinstein trial reveals why UK courts fail to prosecute rape - EVAW in The Guardian on the long road disrupting ideas about “real victim” and “real perpetrator” behaviour #ibelieveher #MeToo #TimesUp
- We're DELIGHTED at today's Court of Appeal judgement in our favour - thanks to our BRILLIANT lawyers at @centreWJ We now look forward to our full day in court for proper examination of CPS change in policy & practice on charging rape cases #RapeJusticeNow
- BREAKING: Our #DABIll amendment calling for an introduction of a non-discrimination clause to ensure that all women who experience domestic abuse receive equal and effective protection and support has PASSED in the House of Lords 310 votes to 232 votes. ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
- BREAKING NEWS: EVAW is deeply disappointed by judges failure to hold CPS accountable on rape prosecutions collapse in their JR judgement. But we have no regrets for wanting to hold institutions accountable for the effective decriminalisation of rape.
- We have launched a legal challenge against the @CPSUK for covertly changing its approach to decision-making on rape cases, leading to a dramatic fall in rape cases being charged and human rights fail. Supported by @centreWJ @GoodLawProject #RapeJusticeFail
- Not guilty verdict in a trial centering on whether a kiss was "sexual". Imagine being publicly jeered & then a stranger forcibly placing his mouth on yours in a kiss. Such male entitlement. Totally unacceptable. Would Gascoigne have done this to a man?
- Most survivors of rape don't choose to report to the police, for all kinds of reasons, not least because of how awful the criminal justice system can be. This is a hard but compelling read from 15 survivors about their experiences. So much needs to change:
- No woman should feel reporting to the police is more dangerous than staying in an abusive relationship. @lawrs & #StepUpMigrantWomen project are fighting for safety of women to be prioritised over immigration enforcement. They say “Ask me if I am safe, not where I am from”
