Work with Tied Across Borders
WORK WITH US
Cross-border abuse falls between institutions. No single organisation can cover every country, law and specialism, so we are building a network that connects them around the situations that cross between them.
We are early, and we would rather start with a few well-defined collaborations than many vague ones.
We want to hear from NGOs, universities, lawyers and law firms, translators and interpreters, psychologists and therapists, domestic-abuse and migrant-support services, consular staff, funders and journalists.
Where we could work together
1. Policy & Advocacy
We aim to bring together lived experience, professional knowledge and research to advocate for practical reform.
- policy research
- consultation responses
- institutional briefings
- evidence submissions
- roundtables
- stakeholder discussions
- public-policy research
- international comparisons
- coalition building
Our advocacy is non-party-political and is not carried out on behalf of commercial clients.
2. Research
- commissioned research
- qualitative interviews
- literature reviews
- needs assessments
- surveys
- international comparisons
- evidence synthesis
- research reports
- practitioner research
Potential specialist themes: cross-border abuse; post-separation abuse; international parenting; access to justice; digital and AI-assisted abuse; migration; migrant-worker exploitation; economic abuse; consular response; cross-border safeguarding.
These services are in development and not yet available. Contact us about future collaboration or pilots.
3. Training & Professional Education
Potential future training areas:
- recognising cross-border abuse
- coercive control across jurisdictions
- international post-separation abuse
- international parenting
- male victims
- LGBTQ+ victims
- technology-facilitated abuse
- economic abuse across jurisdictions
- immigration dependency
- migrant-worker exploitation
- safe referral pathways
- communication where necessary contact must continue
4. Specialist networks & media
- legal partners in different jurisdictions
- translators and interpreters
- psychologists and facilitated support groups
- referral and signposting partners
- journalism and documentary
- expert interviews
- research communication
- panels and events
Safeguarding, informed consent, anonymity where appropriate and legal review are central to any lived-experience storytelling.
CROSS-BORDER ACCESS TO JUSTICE
Help us build the case for cross-border access to justice
Our flagship programme looks at what it costs people to pursue legitimate legal proceedings in another country, and what would make that affordable. We want legal, academic and funding partners to help shape it.
Areas we want to investigate
- overseas legal costs
- legal-aid gaps
- translation and interpretation
- document certification
- international service of documents
- travel
- remote participation
- barriers for foreign litigants
- possible reciprocal assistance mechanisms
