Harriet Wistrich, solicitor and director of Centre for Women’s Justice, and author of ‘Sister in Law’ will talk about some of the landmark legal cases she has fought aimed at getting justice for women failed by the state and challenging discrimination inherent in the criminal justice system. Her talk will feature discussions of:

• the battles for justice by women who have killed violent partners, including acting for Emma Humphreys and Sally Challen
• the story of the eight women, deceived into sexual relationships by undercover police officers, who sought to hold the police accountable
• the battles by two survivors of rape by the notorious taxi driver John Worboys, to hold the police accountable for their failures to investigate him and their later judicial review challenge of the parole board’s decision to release him
• the work of Centre for Women’s Justice to hold the state accountable and bring about lasting change for women subject to male violence.
