Been through the criminal courts recently?
Earlier this year, with @OpenJustice4All and fellow survivors, we called for lived experience to shape court reform.
As the Courts and Tribunals Bill returns, we want to hear from you.

Women should not have to organise their lives around the expectation of violence. These figures speak to something survivors have been saying for years: safety matters, but so does confidence that the system will respond when harm happens.

Dominique Pelicot was not unique. This is a wide-spread pattern of behaviour and it kills women. We need to look out for it.
And we need to take seriously what men do on websites.

An ongoing case right now but absolutely horrifying.
The alleged abuse and rape of this woman spanned two decades. Itās likely to be the tip of the iceberg across the UK too.
Shame must switch sides and any men who are willing to do this must face the full force of the law.

This headline makes vi0lence feel oddly detached. We know the victim and the location, but no perpetrator. Yet again.
Clear reporting doesnāt remove responsibility from the frame.

The @metpoliceuk figured he was less dangerous to women because he'd lost sight in one eye.
Because... men rape with their two eyeballs?
See if you can count how many times this man sexual violence was ignored, before he killed two women.

Women are told to report rape. To put their lives under a microscope. To endure years of investigations, cross-examination and trauma in the name of justice.
Victims donāt get an early release from what happened to them. Why should the people who inflicted it? What a disgrace.

The absurdity of this article!
Apparently the most important details were the £1.3 million house, the swimming pool, his salary, and his LinkedIn profile.
Three people losing their lives seemed almost secondary.
@LBC, readers really donāt need an estate agentās brochure or a CV. They need clear, responsible reporting.

āBaby-faced.ā
Those are the first words the Express chose to describe a convicted perpetrator.
Not the crime OR the child he att*cked. No, no. They went with his appearance.
Then they tell us he sobbed. Poor him!
This headline works hard to humanise the criminal before it acknowledges the harm he caused.

We recently praised @BBCNews for getting it right - for naming the perpetrator, using active language, and showing that clear reporting on vi0lence is possible.
This headline falls short.
It centres the harm while removing the person who committed it.
The passive construction hides responsibility and turns a vi0lent act into something that simply āhappenedā.
Words matter. Especially from trusted outlets.
BBC News, you have shown that you know how to do this better. Weāre asking you to apply the same standard consistently - because accountability should never depend on the day, the case, or the editor.
Weāll keep praising good reporting.
And weāll keep calling it out when it misses the mark.

WHEN DID MURDER BECOME A LOVE STORY?
This headline doesnāt begin with the attack.
It doesnāt begin with the perpetrator.
Instead, it links a womanās passing to her partner being āfound deadā, turning a violent attack into what reads like a tragic relationship story.
The reality is much simpler - and it should be reflected clearly, not as some gruesome soap opera.
