From one voice to a movement
What began as a single voice demanding change has grown into a powerful movement bringing together survivors, families, supporters and allies from across the country.
Over the past 3 months, the campaign for Paris's Law has gained remarkable support, building a community of more than 3,000 Facebook followers and securing the backing of over 104,000 people who have signed the petition for stronger protections for survivors.
Along the way, the campaign has attracted national and local attention through television, radio, newspapers and digital media, helping amplify the voices of those who have too often gone unheard.
The campaign has also moved beyond awareness raising, creating opportunities to engage directly with decision-makers, including meetings with MPs and continued calls for meaningful legislative change.
Now, the movement enters its next chapter. The debate in Westminster has been scheduled for Monday 19 October 2026.
You can watch the debate live on the UK Parliament YouTube channel.

Survivors and supporters gather in Southampton to back Paris's Law and call for justice reform
Southampton, 17 August 2026
Supporters, survivors, campaigners and domestic abuse organisations gathered outside Southampton Crown Court on Monday 17 August for a peaceful awareness march in support of Paris's Law, a campaign calling for stronger protections for survivors of domestic abuse and the exclusion of certain domestic abuse offenders from early-release schemes.
The event followed the extraordinary success of the Paris's Law parliamentary petition, which surpassed 104,000 signatures in just 28 days, triggering consideration for a parliamentary debate.
The gathering brought together survivors, advocates and organisations including The Jessica Project and Project Salama to share personal experiences, campaign for meaningful change, and stand in solidarity with victims and survivors of domestic abuse, sexual violence and coercive control.

About coercive control
What is coercive control?
This video sheds light on coercive control and why Paris’s Law is urgently needed to better protect children and families in the family court system.
Each year, over 270,000 cases pass through the courts, with more than 47,000 still unresolved, leaving many families trapped in lengthy and complex proceedings.
Despite a 26-week target, cases often run far longer, with over 4,000 children involved in proceedings lasting more than 100 weeks.
The campaign calls for stronger recognition of coercive control and faster, more effective decisions that prioritise children’s safety
