Why Tika exists

Tika was formed in 2023 by barrister Zoë Lawton and investigative journalist Alison Mau, both longtime advocates for victim-survivors.

Frustrated by stagnant statistics that showed only 10% of survivors ever report, they identified a tech-led, collective action model as the best way to break systemic barriers to reporting sexual harm, and support survivors as they seek justice and accountability.

Tika’s vision is a world where taking legal action against repeat perpetrators is accessible and transformative, reducing offending rates and creating safer communities.

We offer a free, safe and supported way for survivors to seek justice – whatever that looks like to you.
