(2/3) These are harms laid bare in our report, “Scratching the Surface: Evidence of Victim-Blaming in Family Court Judgments.”
Victim-blaming is not an isolated failing. It is embedded in the very judgments that determine the safety and futures of survivors and their children.

(4/5) This is what the women who lived it told us. That the family court felt like an extension of the abuse they were trying to escape. That their ex was praised while they were picked apart. That judges “mark their own homework,” making decisions in a void, with no scrutiny and no learning — so the ones getting it wrong simply carry on getting it wrong.

(5/5) We’re calling for change: publication of 20% of family judgments each month, mandatory judicial training on gender bias and victim-blaming, and exploration of AI tools to help identify it.
Bias decided behind closed doors cannot be challenged. We must tackle bias in our justice system, wherever we find it.

(3/4) This is not an isolated story. It is one of many cases being documented by our family court blog, where journalists like Tess Reidy observe hearings and report what they see.
