I did this in NZ as an advocate working with victims...we were allowed in court but not in police interview situations. Sometimes fathers would resist but we always got to support the women and girls inside court... sometimes in verbal addresses and also written reports. Sometimes judges ( usually women) would not allow us to speak...but we were there sitting with our clients.
A good step in the right direction
