I’m a survivor of domestic abuse who has experienced, first-hand, the deep flaws and gaps in the criminal justice system. This platform was born from my own lived experience—created to shed light on the challenges survivors face when seeking protection and justice.
I do not use this space to name individuals or point blame. Instead, I use it to raise awareness, spark conversation, and advocate for urgent reform. Survivors deserve better—and so do the communities that support them.
Alongside this campaign, I am also the founder of Your True Reflection CIC, a survivor-led organisation that helps women rebuild their lives after trauma. We offer support, confidence-building, and pathways to independence for women recovering from crisis.
Through both advocacy and action, I am committed to challenging silence, exposing systemic failings, and supporting those still navigating broken systems.
Together, we can demand change and create safer futures.

Strangulation: The Necklace of Fear is a petition calling for urgent reform in how police forces and the CPS communicate across the UK. Right now, there’s no national system allowing officers to instantly share crucial information when crimes cross regional borders. This leaves dangerous gaps in justice—where perpetrators can slip through the cracks and victims are left vulnerable.
We believe every police force should have real-time access to an offender’s full criminal record, regardless of location. Without this, victims remain at risk, and offenders avoid accountability simply because crimes happen in different places.
We’re campaigning for a modern, joined-up communication system to protect communities and ensure justice is served—no matter where a crime is committed.
Join us. Together, we can close the gaps in our justice system.
