Keep fighting for your justice
Victims of domestic abuse and sexual assault are asking to drop their cases because court delays are so long, according to a report seen by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½.
Women and children are having to wait years for cases to conclude and are left without adequate protection while they wait for a court date, it said.
The report was written for the Scottish government's Victims' Taskforce.
Jordana says she faced pressure to drop the charges against her ex-boyfriend who beat her on a night out. Now she is urging other people in similar situations to not give up.
