The i Paper has been shortlisted for three awards at the 2025 Write to End Violence Against Women Awards.
Senior reporter Alannah Francis has been nominated for Best Feature over her piece which discusses a call for the legal age for domestic abuse victims to be lowered from 16 to 12.
For the story she spoke to Micala Trussler, the mother of Holly Newton – who was murdered by her ex when she was aged 15 – after he stalked and used threats of self-harm to emotionally blackmail her.
Columnist Kate Maltby has been nominated in the Best Opinion and Comment category, over her piece about the bravery of Gisèle Pélicot, a French woman who testified against her husband after he drugged and raped her for decades.
In her article Maltby said her refusal to be shamed over what happened is “game-changing” and the “trial has become a crucible of modern and ancient fears”.
And our chief reporter Cahal Milmo is up for a Best Investigation gong alongside Mark Wilding, an investigative journalist at Liberty Investigates, for their feature about the risk that rape victims could have their health data and sexual history trawled by a police AI tool that is being trialed in Britain.The pair’s article highlighted concerns that the system risks setting back the way victims of serious offences, including rape, are treated by the criminal justice system.
