Campaigners Advocate for Parental Rights Removal After Partner Killings

Survivors and families of domestic abuse victims are advocating for Jade’s Law, which seeks to revoke parental rights from domestic abusers who murder their partners, named after Jade Ward, killed by her ex-partner in 2021. The Joanna Simpson Foundation emphasizes that this law will protect children from further trauma and prevent perpetrators from maintaining control. Founder Diana Parkes highlights the need for governmental support for children and their carers affected by domestic violence. The campaign stresses the urgency of addressing the needs of these vulnerable groups within the upcoming Violence Against Women and Girls strategy.
