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& #39;t in some cases.’ #law4change
Sarah Green @EVAWuk @sarahthegreen influencing work is key & huge amount of sharing across women’s sector on using law. & #39;Human Rights Act is so valuable ie. when you bring harm together with discrimination you can argue things like sexual harrassement in schools.& #39; #law4change
