This campaign was multi-faceted and concerned multiple legal jurisdictions, spanning the UK, United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Lowick provided proactive and reactive media and communications assistance in tandem with legal teams and action groups in support of the project’s goals – principally to publicise the plight of gymnasts involved, and to attain a successful legal outcome to their campaign. As part of a successful international campaign to hold parties responsible for endemic abuse to account, Lowick:
