When judges engage in harassment, they must be held accountable, otherwise how can the public have confidence in the judiciary? I spoke on Times Radio with Cathy Newman about Judge Daniel Sawyer targeting me on X. He even made a malicious complaint about me to Bar Standards Board to...

Tonight on Channel 4 News , I spoke about the abuse of power by male barristers and the widespread sexual harassment women face at the Bar. For over a decade, I’ve called out the misogyny deeply embedded in our profession—and the cost for doing so has been high. The segment exposed the double standard: survivors of harassment are disbelieved, discredited, and pushed out, while male perpetrators are protected. Survivors of Jo Sidhu KC’s misconduct told Cathy Newman how terrified they were to speak out—his behaviour was an “open secret” in chambers. Yet even after reporting him, they were met with silence and delay from the Bar Standards Board . The Bar Standards Board even attempted to impose a gagging order—an NDA—on survivors. In my view, this is unlawful and morally indefensible. The truth is, the Bar Standards Board is not just complicit—they are perpetrators too. They prosecuted me for criticising a judgment in a domestic abuse case, threatening disbarment and a £100,000 fine. Meanwhile, they did nothing about male barristers who launched misogynistic abuse at me—calling me a cunt, wanker, calling for me to be sectioned, denigrating my intelligence, and sexist comments about my appearance. According to the Bar Standards Board , that was “free speech.” When women speak up, we’re punished. When men abuse, they’re protected. This is a broken system. I share my story—and the stories of many others—in my book He Said, She Said, exposing how the legal system upholds gendered power and punishes those who challenge it. We need urgent reform. We need real accountability. And we need a profession that protects survivors—not silences them. I would like to thank the incredibly brave and courageous survivors who have spoken out, with special thanks to my friend Anneka. You cannot underestimate the cost of survivors speaking out publicly in the hopes of changing the future for the better, both to prevent harm and encourage other survivors.
