About CWJ

The Centre for Women’s Justice exists to hold the state to account and to challenge discrimination in the justice system around male violence against women and girls.

Misogyny and sexism have pervaded the system for years and as we are all aware, attitudes against women are strengthening, driven by the platform of social media, into mainstream thinking.

Too often, women who have suffered domestic abuse, rape, coercive control or exploitation are not protected, and are even criminalised by the very institutions meant to help them.

The CWJ, led by renowned human rights lawyer, Harriet Wistrich, challenges that discrimination and seeks to expose failures, change laws and drive public awareness so that women have equal access to their justice system.

This is vital, urgent work. We are gathering a network of supporters who will commit to supporting CWJ for three years. We hope you will help grow the network by reaching out to others who will share this commitment.

Thank you so much for your support
