See #Me(Too)
A new UK-wide survey from We Are Survivors and Movember is exploring the attitudes that can make it harder for male victims and survivors of sexual harm to speak out, seek support and be heard. Open to all UK adults aged 18+.
Rape Cases Rise Up the Priority List
A quietly announced change to Crown Court listings will give rape and serious sexual offence cases greater priority from October 2026. It is a long-overdue recognition of the devastating human cost of delay - and a hopeful step towards a justice system that asks survivors to put less of their lives on hold.
Early Release: Risks Remain
The early release scheme has been delayed until October, but domestic abuse perpetrators remain eligible and serious concerns about victim safety remain.
Is Good Intention Enough?
Self-swab “rape kits” have emerged against the backdrop of a justice system failing too many survivors. M.Y.H considers the concerns around evidence, safeguarding and specialist care - and why radical ideas must still withstand proper scrutiny.
Support Charlie’s Law
Joanne Early and her daughter Abi are campaigning for Charlie’s Law, which would automatically suspend parental responsibility when a parent is convicted of murdering or seriously harming their child. A parliamentary petition is now calling on the Government to act and put children’s safety first.
Don't Lose Momentum
Victims and survivors have written to Prime Minister Andy Burnham, urging his Government to protect hard-won progress on justice reform. The letter calls for victims’ voices to shape the review of the early release scheme and for the Courts and Tribunals Bill to keep moving forward.
Change at the Top
A new Prime Minister and reshuffled government offer an opportunity to reset the justice system. As plans for early prisoner release are paused and reviewed, victims need safety, communication and accountability to shape what happens next.
The Human Impact
The conversation around early release is about more than sentencing policy. Drawing on recent reporting, survivor testimony and M.Y.H's own community, this feature explores the fear, uncertainty and renewed trauma many survivors are experiencing, alongside growing calls for meaningful safeguards and victim-centred reform.
When Choice Is Taken Away
What is reproductive coercion? This feature explores a hidden form of abuse, why recognising it matters, and how campaigns like My Choice Was Taken are helping bring greater awareness to an issue that has remained hidden for far too long.
Early Release and Victim Safety
As concerns grow over the government's planned early release scheme, survivors and victims' advocates are calling for stronger safeguards to protect those affected by sexual violence and abuse. From timely notification and robust risk assessments to meaningful victim support, the conversation highlights that justice doesn't end at sentencing - and that victims' safety and confidence must remain central to decisions about release.
Justice, Revisited
Following a successful challenge, the Court of Appeal has increased the sentences of two teenage boys convicted of rape. The judgment reflects the persistence of the victims and their families, and highlights why the ability to challenge legal decisions matters.
Domestic Homicide Reform
Meaningful justice is about more than punishment - it's about recognising the realities of abuse. The government has proposed a new 25-year sentencing starting point for murders of current or former partners. Here's what the changes mean and why they matter.
The Algorithm Is Watching
Georgia Harrison is calling for a conversation about the growing influence of algorithms, influencers and online culture on young people. In this M.Y.H x Noticeboard feature, we explore the questions at the heart of her campaign: who is shaping the next generation, what messages are being amplified online, and what responsibility do platforms, parents and society have in the digital age?
The Other Side of the World Cup
Behind the goals, celebrations and headlines lies a difficult reality. Domestic abuse charities are once again raising awareness of the increased risks some survivors face during major football tournaments.
Tricked Into Pregnancy?
‘Tricked Into Pregnancy?’ explores the story of Liv Nervo and the difficult questions surrounding consent, deception and reproductive coercion. A powerful and thought-provoking documentary that shines a light on an often overlooked form of abuse and the impact it can have on people's lives and choices.
Taking On The Tech Giants
After becoming a target of AI-generated sexualised imagery herself, Jess Asato MP is taking legal action against xAI and helping lead calls for stronger online protections. Her campaign is about more than one case - it's about ensuring technology companies are held accountable when innovation causes harm.
Why Did It Take Public Outrage?
The Attorney General is reviewing the sentences handed to three teenage boys convicted of multiple rapes against two girls in Hampshire, following widespread criticism that the outcome was too lenient.
A Different Kind of Court Support
A court in Madrid has begun using therapy dogs to support vulnerable victims while giving evidence - helping survivors regulate anxiety and feel safer during deeply traumatic proceedings. The initiative is prompting wider conversations about what truly trauma-informed justice could look like.
VAWG Work Cannot Stall Amid Political Chaos
Following the resignations of Jess Phillips and Alex Davies-Jones, Natalie Fleet and Catherine Atkinson have been appointed to lead key government work on safeguarding, victims’ rights, and violence against women and girls.
Silenced by Threats
A new Guardian investigation explores the growing use of SLAPPs (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) in the UK, highlighting how survivors, campaigners and members of the public are facing legal threats after speaking out. The feature examines the chilling impact these tactics can have on freedom of expression, survivor advocacy and public participation.
