Award-winning barrister Charlotte Proudman has dedicated her working life to representing women who find themselves in need of help from the family law courts. Time and again, she has watched as these women - many of whom have experienced the very worst traumas imaginable - are let down by the system that is supposed to protect them. Seeking only justice and safety, they have instead been met with cruelty and disdain, deemed unreliable witnesses compared to the men who abused them.  From family courts failing to protect victims from abusers to the misogynistic bullying Charlotte herself receives from senior members of her profession, the problem is clear: no matter their circumstances, women across the country are suffering at the hands of a legal system built by men.  But change is on the horizon. In He Said, She Said, Proudman gives voice to the women whose stories are all too often brushed aside in the name of giving abusers 'the benefit of the doubt'. Through real-life cases spanning forced marriage, domestic abuse, child abduction and female genital mutilation, Proudman highlights the troubling biases and shocking prejudice that underlie our legal system - and in a book that is at once thrilling, engaging and deeply compassionate, puts forward her own inspiring vision for long-term change.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51202311520529,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51202312339729,"sku":"NGR9781399612449","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51612150628625,"sku":"GOR014345585","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52082872058129,"sku":"GOR014482419","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52498103271697,"sku":"NLS9781399612449","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52700997288209,"sku":"GOR014584846","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1399612441.jpg?v=1766656832"},{"product_id":"female-genital-mutilation-book-charlotte-proudman-9780198864608","title":"Female Genital Mutilation","description":"Female genital mutilation (FGM) has garnered significant media, political and legal attention in the UK. Despite criminalising the practice in 1985, FGM continues undetected and often underground.   This monograph provides a unique insight into survivor's attitudes towards FGM as well as the criminalisation of a culturally embedded practice. Some of the narratives might be deeply uncomfortable as women sympathise and even uphold the practice, whilst others viscerally describe the trauma and pain that they endured. Digging deeper into efforts to eliminate FGM, professionals at the coalface of the end FGM movement provide their views on whether the practice can ever be eradicated. This volume explores the key themes that emerged from the well-publicised criminal trials in the UK and the barriers that prevent the law from working effectively. One of the obstacles that are examined further is the legal double standard in criminalising FGM whilst permitting female genital cosmetic surgery, which incites hostility and anger amongst FGM-performing communities.   Whilst ending FGM is imperative, this enlightening work reflects on the unintended consequences that stem from punitive efforts to criminalise a practice performed by often Black, migrant communities. Women describe their experiences of racism and Islamophobia in a context of police surveillance and hyperbolic media narratives.   In an effort of encouraging the abandonment of FGM, this publication highlights the need for the law to be accompanied by education initiatives at a grass-root level.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51356499575057,"sku":"GOR014236393","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0198864604.jpg?v=1750843629"},{"product_id":"he-said-she-said-book-charlotte-proudman-9781399612456","title":"He Said, She Said","description":"'Required reading' CATHY NEWMAN 'Inspiring and uplifting' VICTORIA DERBYSHIRE 'A rallying cry and a beacon of hope' LUCIA OSBORNE-CROWLEY  If you and your family needed help, could you trust the law to be on your side?  Barrister Charlotte Proudman has seen countless women let down by the very courts meant to protect them - dismissed, disbelieved and left unsafe, while their abusers are given the benefit of the doubt. Her own experience of misogyny within the profession reveals a deeper truth: a justice system designed by men, still tilted against women. In He Said, She Said, Proudman lays bare the prejudice at the heart of family law. Through cases of forced marriage, domestic abuse, child abduction and FGM, she exposes a culture of bias - and calls for urgent, lasting change.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52880052257041,"sku":"NGR9781399612456","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53625427001617,"sku":"GOR014986630","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781399612456.jpg?v=1778147209"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-charlotte-proudman.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
