Women who conceived through abuse—coercion, rape—told today by the courts that the law can't protect them. The two-child cap is already cruel. But this? This is inhumane. Survivors deserve dignity, not bureaucracy. #RapeClause #TwoChildLimit #EndTheCap" #WelfareReform #FuckStarmer #UKPolitics
Women who conceived in abusive relationships lose legal challenge over benefits ‘rape clause’

Two women who conceived their eldest children while they were in violent and controlling relationships have lost a legal challenge to the rules around the two-child benefit cap.
A high court judge said the accounts of the abuse the women faced when they were “vulnerable girls barely out of childhood” were “chilling”. Continue reading...

Wow! A thread to read & share.

Widespread ignorance of the impact of Tory (now Labour's) #TwoChildLimit / #RapeClause
But let's say you have a wife, 4 kids & a good job then are suddenly made redundant
Or you are a mother with 4 kids forced to flee an abusive relationship taking them with you
Then you will find out.....
