The VOICE JOURNAL
Rants. Plus poems about rage, motherhood, politics, grief, awakening and the refusal to be quiet. New work posted as it happens. Read, share, feel something.
Taken Into Care, Left With Him
One in 118 babies in court before their first birthday. Four in five mothers given under a week's notice. A care order that can only name a parent. And nobody has counted how many of them are there because of him.
CRIMINALISED SURVIVAL: Soft on Women, Until She Survives a Man
A single stab wound and a life sentence. 840 women killed by partners against 108 men. The expert the government hired and then overruled. Most women in prison are not a danger to society. Society is more of a danger to them.
