SUMMARY - Gender and Justice

A woman reports domestic violence and faces skepticism, intrusive questions about why she did not leave sooner, and minimal consequences for her abuser. A man accused of sexual assault sees his career destroyed before trial while evidence standards seem to shift based on who is believed rather than what can be proven. A mother loses custody because she works long hours while a father gains it despite a history the court deemed insufficiently documented. A non-binary person navigates family law systems built entirely around binary gender categories.
