Trial by Ordeal

Trial by Ordeal

From GBP 3.00

Location

Date

Jun 12 2018 19:00 - 21:00

Description

We abandoned trial by ordeal in the 13th century in favour of trial by jury. But for many women giving evidence in sexual violence trials remains an ordeal. The sometimes intense and sexist objectification of women's character and lifestyle can lead many to feel exhausted and demoralised. Does this explain why only a small fraction of complaints of sexual violence ever reach court.

As part of the Festival of Debate the Women’s Equality Party will host a panel discussion featuring expert guest speakers, talking about what measures can be taken to make the criminal justice system fairer for women and girls who are the victims of sexual violence.

FAQ

  • I have not received my ticket via email. What should I do?

    The first thing to do is check your spam/junk filters and inboxes. Your tickets were sent as an attachment and can be thought of as spam by some email services. Alternatively, you can always find your tickets in your Billetto account that you can access in the browsers or the dedicated Billetto app. For more help with this, read here.

  • I wish to cancel my ticket and receive a refund. What should I do?

    The approval of refunds is entirely at the event organiser’s discretion, and you should get in contact with the event organiser to discuss what options are available to you. To get in touch with the event organiser, simply reply to your order confirmation email or use the "Contact organiser" form on the organiser's profile. For more help with this, read here.

  • Where do I find a link to an online event?

    Check your order confirmation page or order confirmation email. Usually, the organiser of the event provides the details in the order confirmation email or they might send you a follow-up email with a link to their online event. You might also want to read the event description on Billetto where an event organiser should describe how to join the event online. For more information on this, read here.
