A huge thank you to @Matthew_Patrick for raising the issue of economic abuse yesterday in the House of Commons. The government must ensure that economic abuse is at the heart of their strategy to halve violence against women and girls.

Today the Chancellor promised in her #AutumnBudget to restore the nation’s economic stability, but she failed to outline how she will invest to stop economic abuse and help victim-survivors rebuild their lives. Read our full response ⬇️

Today, 4PB is delighted to host the launch of @ResFamilyLaw's report on Domestic Abuse in Financial Remedy Proceedings. The report, co-chaired by our very own @Anita Mehta and @OliviaPiercy2 from @HuntersLaw, explores the perspectives of family law professionals on this issue. It represents the combined efforts of over 50 barristers, solicitors, academics, independent financial advisers, mediators, coaches, and domestic abuse charities, who have explored this pressing and important topic on behalf of Resolution. Anita commented: “This report shines a light on the experiences of victim-survivors who are accessing the Family Justice System in respect of resolving their finances. It pulls together insights both from professionals and victim-survivors. The report grapples with the difficult question of whether the impact of domestic abuse should be reflected in the final division of the parties’ finances. It recognises that there are a wide range of views about that issue and does not make a final recommendation in that regard. However, it recommends a number of changes that can be made from the moment the parties have separated until a final court order is enacted to make the journey safer and fairer for victim-survivors. Resolution hopes to work with other stakeholders, senior judiciary and policymakers to co-operate around implementing the recommendations in 2025.” The launch event will take place today from 5pm to 6pm, at 4PB, with guests hearing from: Anita Mehta – 4PB Charles Hale KC (@twitbarrister) – 4PB Nicole Jacobs (@CommissionerDA) – The Domestic Abuse Commissioner Grant Cameron (@Grant_FamilyLaw) – Chair of @ResFamilyLaw @OliviaPiercy2 – @HuntersFamLaw @SamHillas KC – St John's Buildings Barristers'​ Chambers #ResEAreport #FamilyLaw #DomesticAbuse #FinancialRemedy

We're pleased @Keir_Starmer has promised security and 'a roof over their head' for domestic abuse survivors. The government must put tackling economic abuse at heart of its mission to halve Violence Against Women and Girls in a decade - working with us to drive systems change.

Raneem Oudeh called the police four times on the night she and her mother Khaola were killed but no one came. This Labour Government is introducing Raneem’s law - including domestic abuse specialists in 999 control rooms so domestic abuse victims get the urgent help they need.
