"[The] failure of the criminal justice system [around sexual violence] should be dealt with robustly and urgently through measures like specialist training, specialist courts, and education, not by abandoning victims and survivors": rapecrisis.org.uk/news/prosecuto… @EVAWuk @LexyTopping pic.twitter.com/mXao7m7Nct

It seems that @cpsuk has abandoned its own VAWG Strategy, which has lead to improvements in how rape and sexual violence is prosecuted in past 10 years, as managers chase targets not justice #RapeJusticeFail

Northumbria PCC Vera Baird says @cpsuk “approach is completely hostile to the principle of access to justice. The point of the CPS is to bring fair prosecutions, not to deliberately avoid bringing them and to abandon hundreds of victims" #RapeJusticeFail #MeToo twitter.com/NorthumbriaPCC…

This is a SHOCKING read - Prosecutors urged to ditch 'weak' rape cases to improve figures - we need to hear response from DPP and Justice Sec David Gauke today #MeToo #WhyIDidntReport #RapeJusticeFail theguardian.com/law/2018/sep/2…

I agree this policy appears to violate CPS duty under Human Rights Act and may render the policy unlawful watch this space @centreWJ twitter.com/EVAWuk/status/…

This is so disappointing & flies in the face of all the work done over the years by brave women to challenge the idea of strong vs weak cases & do away with all the myths & stereotypes

Criminal Justice system is failing women. "Easy" cases = stereotype deserving cases. Justice shouldn't discriminate but this leaves so many women with noone to trust & nowhere to go. @fawcettsociety twitter.com/EVAWuk/status/…

Did you report rape and have the case suddenly dropped by @cpsuk at the end of last year?

Its possible @cpsuk practice is unlawful & discriminatory against women. This year @UKSupremeCourt upheld a case against @metpoliceuk confirming duty on the state to protect women inc. investigating and prosecuting rape. @HWistrich @RapeCrisisEandW endviolenceagainstwomen.org.uk/supreme-court-…

This is not about improving justice for everyone. It will result in far fewer women getting justice, and systemically reducing all rape victims’ access to justice, at a time when more and more are reporting the crime #RapeJusticeFail #MeToo #WhyIDidntReport
