The View Magazine | Spring 2025
Issue 13 of The View is a promise — of survival for the planet and for women. It sheds light on the ongoing injustices women face in the legal system. At Bronzefield Prison, run by Sodexo Ltd, one woman suing the company for stealing her property was punished by being denied photocopying of legal papers — a basic right for any trial preparation.
Constance Marten shares her harrowing experience of being transported by Serco while on remand, describing court attendance under inhumane conditions. Exhausted and unprepared for trial, she says it feels deliberate — she’s unable to function, let alone participate.
We also update you on the disturbing case against The View’s editor, Farah, brought by former partner Nigel Gould-Davies. Despite withholding key digital evidence until days before trial, Judge Greenberg KC extended Farah’s imprisonment, leaving her unprepared. This case raises serious concerns about how judges arbitrarily extend custody time limits — a failing system where justice is lost when the CPS fails to meet disclosure schedules.
Human rights lawyer Anna Shapiro interviews Zainab, the fierce founder of Daughters for Earth — a feminist justice incubator fighting for climate justice. Maria Luiza explores London College of Fashion’s program at HMP Downview, empowering incarcerated women through sustainable fashion. Sophie Boone profiles ‘Rubies from the Rough,’ redefining sustainable luxury jewellery. Artists Farida Yesmen and Kani Kamil challenge perceptions through their powerful hair-themed artwork.
Finally, don’t miss The View’s upcoming short film The Mirrored Wardrobe — a modern myth urging us to question appearances.
