Project Lighthouse provides life-changing therapeutic support for mothers who have endured domestic abuse and child removal. But support is not enough: we want the system to change. Read more about transparency in the family courts by Sanchia Berg (LI: Sanchia Berg) for the BBC at buff.ly/3Q5DtkY Read more from Hannah Summers (X: @hansummers) and Louise Tickle (X: @louisetickle) for the TBIJ at buff.ly/40UgQWW buff.ly/4gw2yQO #protectvictims #presumtionofcontact #domesticabuse #protectwomenandgirls #womensrights
The opportunity to be believed and heard is just as important for adults as it is for children. Nobody should be denied a voice. Hear the first-hand experience of a child who endured child removal in the podcast below: buff.ly/3EmspND #protectvictims #presumtionofcontact #domesticabuse #protectwomenandgirls #womensrights

Alexandra Topping’s (X:LexyTopping) report in the @guardian highlights the rise in Violence Against Women and Girls. These statistics reveal the need for the existence of vital services such as Project Lighthouse, supporting mothers who have endured domestic abuse and child removal.

Project Lighthouse is here to provide trauma-informed therapeutic support for mothers who have endured domestic abuse and child removal. #protectvictims #presumtionofcontact #domesticabuse #protectwomenandgirls #womensrights
Project Lighthouse offers support from a trauma-informed perspective, backed by extensive research. #womensrights #presumptionofcontact #protectwomen #domesticabuse #protectvictims
The phrase ‘Mothers always get custody’ is common, but this is a misconception and is far from the truth. Project Lighthouse supports mothers who have endured domestic abuse and child-removal, because we understand that children do not always stay in the care of their mothers. These removals often happen on the grounds of so-called ‘Parental Alienation’, a theory used by perpetrators to continue their post-separation abuse. Mothers are accused of manipulating their children, when the reality is that they are striving to protect them from abuse. #womensrights #presumptionofcontact #protectwomen #domesticabuse #protectvictims
This important article by Anna Fazackerley (X:@AnnaFazack1) in @guardian shows how the UK justice system is failing to protect mothers and children and leaves mothers with life-long trauma. Project Lighthouse picks up the pieces of this broken system, helping mothers with therapeutic support and a safe space. Read more at buff.ly/3PYbFiq #womensrights #presumptionofcontact #protectwomen #domesticabuse #protectvictims
Project Lighthouse has been created to support mothers enduring the effects of child removal, but we are also committed to shedding light on this often hidden issue. However, we do not have access to vital Ministry of Justice data on the number of child removals in private law cases, making it a challenge to fully explore what is happening. #womensrights #presumptionofcontact #protectwomen #domesticabuse #protectvictims
Project Lighthouse strives to create safety, trust and community for mothers whose voices have been silenced. #womensrights #presumptionofcontact #protectwomen #domesticabuse #protectvictims
We are looking forward to what we will achieve in 2025! Project Lighthouse provides a safe space for mothers... ‘‘Your work is truly life-changing, and I’m grateful to have you in my corner.’’ - Project Lighthouse Mother #womensrights #presumptionofcontact #protectwomen #domesticabuse #protectvictims
📞In the region of 900 calls.📞That’s how many times survivors reached out to our Domestic Abuse Helpline over the last year about child contact. 👩👧 Child contact is a major, widespread issue for women and children experiencing domestic abuse in Scotland. 🛡️Women and children deserve to be heard and protected—not forced into danger through harmful contact decisions. #StillNotSafe #16Days #ChildProtectionNow
Very proud to be involved with this amazing organisation providing a unique service to some of the most invisible clients: domestic abuse survivors subjected to child removal. Please consider supporting them
Shiori Itō's #BlackBoxDiaries is playing sold-out screenings at @BFI #LFF, releasing in UK theatres October 25. This award-winning documentary breaks open the links between power abuse & sexual violence to counter gender-based corruption. @Dogwoof @letterboxd
Children‘s voices are lost in proceedings & harmful contact arrangements are ordered. So pleased to see @scotwomensaid focus on the harm that continues to occur in Children‘s Hearings👇👇
🚨 Child Protection Stops When Child Contact Starts. 🚨 Too often, child contact proceedings in Scotland overlook the risks posed to mothers and children who have separated themselves from their abuser. Decisions are being made in courts and Children’s Hearings that put women
'An undercover police officer who deceived at least four women into sexual relationships and fathered a child with one of them is a “cruel and manipulative” liar, a public inquiry has been told.' ➡️ow.ly/Lfx850UhuFG
