Thank you for helping us to achieve our goal, and then some!

Your generosity means that Women’s Aid and Rape Crisis England & Wales can mount the legal challenge that will help overturn the inhumane two child tax credit limit policy. We now have the vital resource needed to fight against this policy which not only withholds financial support from vulnerable women and children, but also prevents survivors from leaving an abusive partner.

We are one step closer to getting this overturned and that is all down to you.

We can’t thank you enough for recognising the need for change and helping us protect women and children across the country. As our case progresses we’ll keep you updated, so you can see how your pledge has made a difference.

In the meantime, you can continue to support our work by donating to Women’s Aid or Rape Crisis England & Wales using the links below.

We’re truly overwhelmed by the response we received in the last few days of our appeal. 

Thank you so much to everyone who has helped us hit our target. We couldn’t have done this without your support.

Because we reached our initial goal, we’ve now been given a one month extension to raise even more funds for our cause. This amazing opportunity means that any additional funds raised can be used to strengthen our case. It means we can put more resource behind the legal challenge which will increase our chances of overturning the inhumane two child policy.

If you’d still like to pledge, please do and continue to share our page as much as you can especially on social media.

We’ll keep you updated as our case progresses. Together we are stronger and can continue to make change.

With one week to go, we’re calling on you to join us in our final push to raise vital funds so we can challenge the inhumane two child policy. 

Join us for women like Sabrina. For women that are put in the unthinkable position of either disclosing traumatic events to the government, or not being able to support their children. 

If we are successful, our Crowdjustice campaign will mean we can challenge the legality of this policy in the courts, and make a difference to survivors’ lives. 

But we’ve still got a long way to go and we need your help.

Please pledge and share as much as you can for all the women trapped in abusive relationships because they simply can’t afford to leave.

We've now hit the £1k mark! Thank you to everyone who has helped us reach our first milestone. Your support will make a huge difference to protecting women and children across the country.

Tessa Gregory, Partner at Leigh Day solicitors told us why they are representing us in this important challenge: 

"The policy of the Government to force women to reveal a sexual assault in order to receive subsistence benefits to which they are legally entitled, is we believe a very clear breach of the human rights act and therefore unlawful. It is a powerful demonstration of why human rights legislation is needed to tackle this kind of ill thought out and degrading treatment of mothers..."

Please continue to help us raise awareness by pledging, sharing this page and telling all of your followers why you are backing our campaign.

We cannot do this without your passion and support.
