Nina Cresswell reported a sexual assault, but the police basically ignored her. She spoke out, and her attacker sued her for defamation. Three years later, with our support, she won.

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 think it’s long past time that the Charity Commission created real disincentives for educational charities that breach their obligation to act in a balanced and non-politicised way.

The Charity Commission has launched a formal compliance case into Policy Exchange:
