These dangerous laws are propped up not only by the courts but by the cowardly lawyers, editors and publishers who simply accept them without question — of course, the huge exception being @JolyonMaugham @GoodLawProject and @OhNinaC who literally fought the law on this, and won.
This is great from @OhNinaC on abuse in the music industry, how the law is weaponised to silence victims/survivors and helpful practical tips (lots to take on board from there for other contexts too)

Que escrita importante feita por @OhNinaC sobre casos onde mulheres denunciaram figuras da indústria musical. Claro que ela fala do ponto de vista do Reino Unido, o que me deixa pensando muito sobre como nós, parte do ecossistema musical brasileiro, podemos ser++

Currently reading: "Breaking a silence (responsibly and reasonably) To protect women in the music industry and hold perpetrators accountable, speaking out, reasonably and responsibly, must be made safer. Until then, it needs to be done carefully". drownedinsound.org/why-we-need-to…
'When women speak out – that is, bringing public awareness to abuse so it doesn’t go unexcused – they are, for the most part, punished. Those who choose to come forward about their experiences..open themselves up to being publicly shamed, sacked, or sued' drownedinsound.org/why-we-need-to…
Is this the first mention in a Press Release issued by a United Kingdom government of "corrupt elites"? Whatever you think of the Bill - and I'm cautiously positive - it is pretty jarring language for a Government. gov.uk/government/new…
Beautifully articulated. I’ve been in survival mode since speaking out & I am so thankful people are calling attention to this🙏

It's been a long journey to bring back DiS. To mark the new era, the first essay is an empowering read It's in response to the Misogyny in Music report by the inspiring Nina Creswell (@OhNinaC) And it's about speaking out drownedinsound.org/why-we-need-to…
Every now and then, I read something that makes me go, "Fuck Yes!". This morning, I came across exactly this. Nina Cresswell's piece in @DrownedinSound on the music industry's treatment of women, especially in the wake of the #MeToo movement, is not just a desperately needed…
After the Misogyny in Music report, a lot of well-meaning people said they hoped women could come forward about the abuse they suffered. Yes - up to a point. Speaking out has huge costs for women. This is an important piece by @OhNinaC for @DrownedinSound drownedinsound.org/why-we-need-to…
I want to see more of this. Check out Nina's article in the link below.

Please consider donating to this CrowdJustice fund for a rape survivor who is facing libel proceedings after speaking out about the sexual and psychological abuse she survived. crowdjustice.com/case/justice-f…
In the first essay of the new era of DiS, @OhNinaC explores Evan Rachel Wood, Kesha, and Phoebe Bridgers’ recent cases, campaigns like @cbmsilence & @ginamartinuk, and some of the lawfare that’s used drownedinsound.org/why-we-need-to…
If something happened to you, would you know how to speak out? If 6.54m women have experienced sexual violence, why do so few post online? Nina Cresswell worked with @GoodLawProject to win a landmark case and explores NDAs, Anti-SLAPPs, libel, defamation and more 🧵 1/2
The most important press freedom case in the world will be decided *this week.*

A significant strikeout. It’s never been clearer how much the UK needs anti-SLAPP legislation.

46K Followers 4K Following CEO @the_parenthood | Contributor @WomensAgenda | #CredibleWomen co-instigator | Author #BreakingBadly | Wrangler of Daughters |This work is (rightly) politics blind. We take on newspapers who like us - like the FT and Guardian - and people who don't. It is costly and unpopular with those who hold power. It speaks to our loathing of bullying and sexual violence. And it speaks to our and my feminism.
When Boris Johnson wanted to appoint his friend, Martin Thomas, to Chair the Charity Commission, working with a victim we exposed his sexual misconduct at @WomenforWomen. His appointment had been confirmed but he then resigned from post. goodlawproject.org/update/charity…
Working with @SisterSupporter we threatened to sue @CamdenCouncil for failing to protect women wanting to access their abortion rights from harassment. Our @polly_jackman was a key mover in the new legislation to safeguard abortion clinics. goodlawproject.org/safe-zones/
Nick Cohen's sexual misconduct was an open secret. He kept it out of the public eye with SLAPP suits. Working with @lucysiegle and others we took on the Guardian / Observer and secured a front page in @nytimes and an apology for the women from Kath Viner. x.com/lucysiegle/sta…
Day 2. Front page New York Times international.
Working with @thegeminiproj we threatened to sue the Home Secretary who was in breach of his legal obligations to tackle the scourge that is spiking. There is always more to be done but that report was published. goodlawproject.org/case/were-chal…
We are also very proud of what is in the public domain. When @OhNinaC was sued for defamation by the man who sexually assaulted her, we supported her and helped her establish a new defence which will protect all women. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
Much of the work @GoodLawProject does to tackle violence against women and girls much remain invisible because it is sensitive. But we have advised women how they can bust NDAs, protect themselves from the men who rape them and face down defamation threats.
And @GoodLawProject was instrumental in the setting up of @DrProudman's organisation @Right2Equality. Charlotte wins award after award for her incredibly brave work tackling the problems faced by women that our patriarchal press does not much talk about. independent.co.uk/voices/women-g…
The organisation I founded, @GoodLawProject, has a senior leadership team of five, of whom four are women. It has never had a man on its SLT (me aside). The law firm it owns employs a solicitor with a particular brief of tackling violence against women and girls.
I chaired the single parents' organisation, @Gingerbread. Something like 90% of single parents are women and around 50% live in poverty. And I chaired @fatherhoodinst whose central ask was shared parental leave, which is perhaps the key policy to tackling the motherhood penalty.
My feminism was evident before I founded @GoodLawProject. My work was highlighted by then gender equality watchdog, the EOC; I wrote furiously about how the criminal justice system fails women (eg newstatesman.com/politics/2018/…); and I was invited to join the Board of @fawcettsociety.
This lie, in turn, supports a further lie which is that to advocate for trans rights is to align yourself *against* women, to be a misogynist. In fact, on the evidence, to advocate for trans rights is to align yourself far more *with* women, and *against* men.
It a convenient lie that to support trans people is to ignore women. In fact, poll after poll after poll shows that women both support trans rights and support them more than men. See for example this, from @YouGov (yougov.co.uk/society/articl…). 🧵
my boyfriend and I watched Spotlight last night and I had the awful realisation that those stories of abuse would NEVER be published now, under the current oppressive, anti-public interest journalism defamation laws, which continue to silence journalists and victims of crime.
These dangerous laws are propped up not only by the courts but by the cowardly lawyers, editors and publishers who simply accept them without question — of course, the huge exception being @JolyonMaugham @GoodLawProject and @OhNinaC who literally fought the law on this, and won.
@JolyonMaugham @GoodLawProject @OhNinaC And in Australia we have brave trailblazers like Brittany Higgins fighting hideous defamation suits, @suigenerisjen speaking up about how damaging these laws are, Grace Tame and @ninafunnell with #LetHerSpeak, and many others. Let's keep going. These laws need to change.
@LuciaOC_ @JolyonMaugham @GoodLawProject @OhNinaC Looking like every country needs, and should have, a @GoodLawProject @JolyonMaugham, an international network beckons
This is great from @OhNinaC on abuse in the music industry, how the law is weaponised to silence victims/survivors and helpful practical tips (lots to take on board from there for other contexts too)
