Glasgow woman's fight for new domestic abuse register

Domestic abuse survivors who say they have been failed by the justice system are taking their fight to change the law to Holyrood.

The 25-year -old nurse told how she was left with bite marks, bruising on her arms, shoulder and eye after being the victim of an assault in 2020. Frustrated by court delays, Lauren posted a video online of the attack she had secretly recorded on her phone.Lauren, from Glasgow, said: “The system must change, in particular the way those who have suffered a spectrum of abuse are treated by police and during the court process.

Her attacker was initially charged with five offences and admitted three when he appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court. The prosecution service accepted his guilty pleas and the other two charges were dropped.
