‘I'm not the sort of person just to just sit on things or to accept things. I would rather act.’

Erica Osakwe is a survivor of domestic abuse. After going to the police about her experience, she found out they wouldn’t be able to do anything. A six-month time limit was in place for reporting common assault, which many domestic violence claims get classified as.

Erica set out to change the law.
