JENNIFER ROBINSON: How Defamation Laws Silence Women

JENNIFER ROBINSON: How Defamation Laws Silence Women

Defamation laws have a long and strange history, and in recent years, these laws have been leveraged in order to silence women who attempt to speak out about abuse. In the midst of the cultural reckoning incited by the #MeToo movement, many women across the globe are facing a legal reckoning. This is the central point of the new documentary Silenced. The documentary's main subject is Jennifer Robinson, a human rights lawyer who represented Amber Heard during her testimony in the libel case brought by Johnny Depp against The Sun newspaper. Jennifer and Abbie discuss how defamation is weaponised, what responsibility the media has to prevent violence against women, and Abbie's personal regret in the way she engaged with the media circus around Amber Heard's legal battles.
