End the misuse of NDAs to silence victims

I congratulate Zelda on her integrity and courage in pursuing this cause that has the potential to do so much good.

Thank you for organising this important petition Justice for One Direction 🌈

Very pleased to see that Leeds Trinity University have signed the Universities Pledge! An amazing and very important campaign.

I wasn't even paid any money for the NDA I was obliged to sign, but it was the only way I could access a crucial document to discover how bad the decision-making was by the CPS when they continued a prosecution against my daughter for lying about a rape allegation she had made. This prosecution was started privately by the man Eleanor accused of raping her; the police did not support this prosecution and they have been exonerated following a complaint against then for not pursuing Eleanor for lying. Eleanor, who had Bipolar, took her own life on the eve of her trial. I was sued for libel by the same man. My Public Interest defence was upheld by the Courts as my target was the CPS who wanted this NDA, not the man. My target remains the CPS, not the man. For the avoidance of doubt, I make no public accusations of wrongdoing against this man. My target is the CPS and I need to be released from my NDA. To continue it makes a mockery of the CPS's claims of transparency of charging decisions.

Please let's stop NDAs now!

Keep going Zelda and team, this work will really make a huge difference to many people. Jen x

No one should be able to manipulate, bully or harass an employee or colleagues and think that that money can buy silence. You should be able to feel safe and supported not intimidated.

Bravo, keep going ....

I believe all females should report every incident to the Police every time an event happens which is sexual abuse of any sort. This could be from a wolf-whistle to physical harm. A diary should be kept and sent each month to the Home Office.

Its crazy that independent people are having to fund this and do all the work. NDAs were set up for use in business, I have used them correctly many times, such a shame they are used for the wrong reasons. Good luck. NJx

Thank you for continuing with this campaign that has been overlooked for too long.

Good luck with this important work X

I love this and totally agree no-one should be able to 'buy silence' to hide wrongdoing or stop people from talking about their own lives!!! NDA's were not meant for this and it has to STOP

Love you, Zelda! And well done! M xx

Well done Zelda...by all means yes to reparations but no to silence

Blown away by your eloquence, bravery and perseverance. Truly inspiring Zelda xxx

Go Zelda! Brave and much needed x

Well done Zelda. Best of luck with it all......

Good luck with this campaign. I know it's been a long road and it's not over yet!

Love you, proud of you Zelda and all strength for what you are doing for vulnerable people (all of us).

So impressed with what yr doing x

Good luck with this amazing campaign.

Brilliant start to a campaign that will show employers, their lawyers and HR teams, that it’s not OK to use an NDA. Right behind you Zelda and Julie.

Good luck with this, Zelda. It'll be a tough battle but then you're a tough woman. N

So proud of you for getting this off the ground and putting it in front of the people that matter! I have every faith this campaign will go miles to help end this abomination in the current law x
