Breaking Bias, Building Justice - Right to Equality We are calling for judicial bias training, transparency, and change in the legal system for the family courts to protect survivors.

For survivors, transparency must come with care—it cannot be an added burden on those already navigating a complex and often hostile system

The transparency pilot is a vital step forward —but is it enough?

As our latest blog explores, transparency must be more than just a policy shift. Survivors need clear guidance and a justice system that works for them—not against them

A week in Manchester’s Family Court Part Three – Behind Closed Doors - Right to Equality Ruth Green writes about a hearing where a judge must quickly adjust to unexpected news to determine the best interests of the child.

Here's the final part of my blog series for @right2equality.bsky.social This looks at a family court case involving allegations of domestic abuse and international child abduction and how judges, interpreters and court clerks always have to expected the unexpected righttoequality.org/a-week-in-ma...

Justice only works when it is impartial, accessible, and open to public trust. Without scrutiny, bias goes unchecked, and the system risks failing the very people it is meant to protect.

We must do better for victims, survivors, and children

Scrutiny isn’t blame—it’s accountability.

The challenge to the ban on naming Sara Sharif’s judges was never about undermining the judiciary but about ensuring transparency and fairness in our justice system.

No family should have to endure such unimaginable loss, and no child should be placed at unnecessary risk

We are heartbroken to hear about five-year-old Timotej, who was killed during an unsupervised visit with his father.

While this case is not confirmed to be family court related at this time, it serves as a reminder of how vulnerable children truly are.

We must act now to protect victims and ensure perpetrators face justice

Let’s stand together to demand change!

Together, we must challenge the systems and narratives that fail to protect survivors.

Right to Equality firmly stands with survivors who face a justice system and a societal narrative that too often prioritises the reputations of powerful men over the voices of those they harm.
