Support Abuse Survivors in Accessing Court Records

Aim

We aim to help domestic abuse survivors access court transcripts to expose judicial bias & ensure greater transparency in the justice system

Who we are

herEthical.AI is a startup that specialises in providing guidance and practical machine learning help to the police and third sector organisations. Our focus is on reducing intimate partner crime and gender-based violence.  

Who we are working with

We are collaborating with Riverlight, an organisation dedicated to creating a safe and supportive society for survivors of abuse to expose judicial bias in family courts. 

Riverlight's campaign "In the Judge's Words" has exposed some of the dehumanising language and attitudes that survivors of abuse have to endure when they go to court. 

What we want to do

We want to allow survivors to buy their court transcripts so we can develop a large language model that can: 

                a) summarise court cases

                b) identify and extract victim-blaming and misogynistic language.

Why?

This will highlight the bias and discrimination survivors face, and can be used to increase the transparency of family court proceedings, and provide evidence for why transparency is needed.
