That’s why Good Law Project exists. We stand with people taking on powerful institutions, to make sure that power never comes without accountability. Read Nina’s story here: https://goodlaw.social/zjlq

Screenshot from Good Law Project’s article, reading: “Holding the police to account won’t give Nina back the years she lost. But it shows that even the most powerful public bodies can be challenged – and made to answer for the harm they cause.

According to Cat Knight, deputy head of legal at Good Law Project, Nina’s fight “has always been bigger than one person”.

“It’s about every survivor who deserves to be believed, every report that deserves to be properly investigated, and every public body that must be held to the standards it owes the people it serves,” Knight said.”
