1. Amend the Planning & Infrastructure Bill to ban wind farms on protected peatland - 8,435 signatures

We feel the current law only allows prosecution of coercive control abroad if the perpetrator is British or UK-resident. This can leave victims unprotected even when the harm happens in the UK. Abusers may exploit this loophole through economic abuse and foreign SLAPP lawsuits. The law should recognise and stop cross-border legal and financial coercion.
