Last week, #Right2Equality launched their report “Scratching the Surface: Evidence of Victim-Blaming in Family Court” at a parliamentary event hosted by #KirithEntwistle MP.
Right to Equality is a non-profit organisation founded and co-directed by #DrCharlotteProudman and #DrAdrienneBarnett.
The report reveals that 72.5% of #judgments analysed contained at least one instance of judicial victim-blaming. Of the 530 recorded instances across court professionals, the majority were attributed to judges.
Dr Charlotte Proudman is a leading voice in family court reform. In her experience as a barrister, she has seen how abuse can be normalised, trauma minimised, and survivors silenced within the #JusticeSystem.
This report reflects what survivors have long reported: that #bias is real, embedded within the family justice system, and influencing decisions that directly impact children’s safety and can cause lasting harm.
