On Friday’s Good Morning Britain, presenters Adil Ray and Kate Garraway had a poignant discussion about the upcoming Raneem’s Law, named in memory of Raneem Oudeh who was tragically killed by her ex-partner in 2018 along with her mother.

Adil asked Raneem’s aunt, Nour Norris, on whether the new law brings any comfort, to which she responded: “It’s not going to bring them back. But at the same time, there are a lot of victims out there who are desperate for help, and they never used to get the help they deserve, just like Raneem.

“But today, hopefully, this hope will bring a light to their lives.”

Nour emphasised that safeguarding should be a right, not a privilege, stating: “We must have that system in place to support and help victims.”

Kate Garraway reflected on the conversation with Nour, expressing: “So powerful, the way you put it, and so graceful to have that, because when you hear that call, I feel an overwhelming sense of rage and frustration; I’m sure you do as well, and have done.”

The government’s website details that Raneem’s Law will introduce domestic abuse experts into 999 control rooms, ensuring victims get the specialist support they need.

This significant change is set to roll out across five police forces in England, including West Midlands, Northumbria, Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, and Humberside, reports the Manchester Evening News.

A statement issued stated: “These domestic abuse specialists will ensure that calls for help are properly assessed.”

The legislation, known as Raneem’s Law, was created in memory of 22-year-old Raneem who was tragically killed after making 13 reports to the authorities about her fears. Despite her pleas, no arrests were made.

On the night of her murder, she called 999 four times, but the police failed to arrive in time. ITV’s Good Morning Britain aired one of Raneem’s distressing calls, where she was advised by the operator to go back to her mother’s house and call again if her ex-husband appeared.

She expressed her frustration, saying: “That’s the problem when I’m calling, they’re not coming quickly.”

Kate Garraway admitted feeling “sick” after hearing the call, knowing the tragic outcome. MP Jess Phillips, discussing Raneem’s Law on the show, said: “What we hope to see is a cultural change within the call centres.

“What we have to do is look at cases like Raneem’s and read the inquests in these cases and the domestic homicide reviews. For too long, I’ve listened to politicians, police chiefs or whoever it is, say, ‘Lessons will be learned’, then nothing seems to change.

“They say lessons will be changed until the next case that we hear about. This is a direct response to what we learnt in Raneem’s case, what we have to do is try and find every entry point that a victim of domestic abuse goes to and in this instance, we’re talking about the criminal justice system.”

Good Morning Britain continues weekdays on ITV from 6am.
