AN ASPATRIA woman is launching a campaign against injustice in family courts.

Backed by Rachel Holliday, founder of Women Out West (WOW) a charity supporting victims of domestic abuse, and MP Trudy Harrison, the campaign will launch on November 16.

Victoria Hudson, 43, said she launched #getmhome after “a member of our family was removed by Cumbria Children’s Services”.

Victoria and her family have joined the national campaign to end injustice in the family courts and welcome the domestic abuse bill into Parliament to support victims and their children.

She attended a protest in London at the weekend about the treatment of survivors.

She said: “We have welcomed the Bill into Parliament for the independent investigation into family courts and are happy to see 130 MPs and various commissioners and charities are supporting it.

“After so much wonderful support not only from the community but nationally we would like to welcome you to an event.”

The launch event will be held in the Rainbow Room, King Street, Aspatria, between 10am and 12pm on November 16.

“The event is a chance for Trudy Harrison to meet M’s family, friends and the community she loved to be part of,” explained Victoria.

The Cumbrian fight to end injustice has gained a lot of national support.

Rachel Williams, ambassador for Welsh Women’s Aid, said: “I am aware of a case in Cumbria and have been supporting the lady for over two years.

“It’s a shocking case which we should even be having to bring out in the media. This should have been dealt with properly.”

Rachel Riley, Countdown host said she is “pleased to see Trudy Harrison bring this up in Parliament as part of the domestic abuse bill discussion”.

Baroness Helen Newlove, who is backing the campaign, said: “#getmhome, I support you 100 per cent.”
