Should I use law in my campaigning? A fundamental question but many campaigners say they aren’t fully equipped to answer. What are the opportunities & risks whether you have a ‘legal problem’ or whether ready to win (or lose!) #law4change @CPAGUK @sarahthegreen @Louise_DPG
Legal tools: Legal research, reports, letters/ petitions, MPS, media & litigation. Carla Clarke from @CPAGUK ‘How do you know you have a legal issue? Usually it is gut instinct. Use all campaign tools but look at the legal tools that might be available to.’ #law4change
@Louise_DPG on #strategiclitigation worth pursing but not without obstacles. Support organisations play a pivotal role in supporting a client. ‘Even when a case fails it still might act to raise awareness to a certain issue putting pressure on gov't in some cases.’ #law4change
Sarah Green @EVAWuk @sarahthegreen influencing work is key & huge amount of sharing across women’s sector on using law. 'Human Rights Act is so valuable ie. when you bring harm together with discrimination you can argue things like sexual harrassement in schools.' #law4change
