She Reported Rape. She Was Convicted

A young Black British woman reported her rape. On 3rd March 2026, a court in Hong Kong convicted her. Not him. Her.

Nina v The System

In 2010, Nina Cresswell reported a violent sexual assault to the police. Within hours, she was told it wasn’t a crime.

A decade later - after years of carrying the weight of that dismissal - she spoke out publicly to protect other women. The man she named sued her for defamation.

He dragged her through a three-year legal battle. And she won.

Where the Law Falls Short

Fightback is a powerful short film examining how the criminal justice system treats women who have experienced serious, often prolonged abuse.

The film explores cases where women are serving life sentences after acting in circumstances shaped by violence, coercion and fear - yet their experiences are minimised or misunderstood once they enter the courtroom. Context is stripped away, trauma is reframed as intent, and survival is judged through legal frameworks that fail to reflect the reality of abuse.

When Integrity Is Punished

When Issy Vine spoke up about wrongdoing while working as a 999 call handler for the Metropolitan Police, she did so believing the promises she had been told - that whistleblowers would be listened to, protected, and supported.

Technology Shouldn’t Enable Harm

A BBC investigation exposes something many women already know too well: technology is being used to replicate harm, faster and at scale.

A woman described feeling “dehumanised and reduced to a sexual stereotype” after Grok, the AI tool linked to Elon Musk and the platform X, was used to digitally remove her clothes without consent. Not because she shared anything sexual. Not because she agreed. But because the technology allowed it - and the platform failed to stop it.
