The High Court has forced a six-year-old girl to keep the name of the man who raped her mother.
Women and children harmed by sexual violence need protection, not more harm.
We’re nearly halfway to our target to take the case to the European Court of Human Rights:

The law has failed a woman and her child – fight back
No survivor should face harm from the very system that is meant to protect them. No child should have to carry an abuser’s name. It’s time to change the system.

We need a public enquiry into Russian interference in our politics – including Brexit!

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
