Frightening figure shows how we’re failing a generation. 🚨 A drop in reporting rates in sexual violence has occurred for the first time in 15 years with ABS data showing 329 fewer cases than in 2024, as reported in this article. Sexual violence is one of the most under reported, under charged, under prosecuted and under convicted crimes. A fall in reporting should, therefore, not necessarily be celebrated. This is especially the case, as sexual violence prevalence is likely increasing across the board, but especially because it is pushing into younger and younger cohorts, as a result of (inter alia) exposure and access to pornography, a lack of services and therefore response, and the involvement of technology, which is extending its reach and impact. A drop in the reporting of sexual violence (especially when prevalence is increasing) is a concern, as it may indicate that victim-survivors are lacking confidence and trust to engage in formal processes or other reasons.

QSAN supports calls for Australia to consider a UK-style ban on pornography depicting strangulation and suffocation. Recent Australian research found that 57% of people aged 18-35 surveyed had experienced strangulation during sex. As stated by Social Services Minister Tanya Plibersek, there is “no safe way to strangle someone.” The increasing normalisation of strangulation during sex is deeply concerning. Pornography can expose young people to depictions of strangulation and other forms of sexual violence and normalise these activities without providing an understanding of the risks involved. QSAN believes restricting these depictions should be accompanied by age-appropriate sexuality and relationships education that should include, among other things, information about the risks and harms of sexual strangulation. We also support reform in Queensland so that consent cannot be relied upon as a defence to the criminal offence of strangulation in sexual contexts. Strangulation can cause serious injury, including brain damage and death. We need prevention, education and law reform that challenge its normalisation as an expected part of sex.

QSAN thanks Michaela Cronin, DFSV Commissioner and strongly supports her call for a sharp focus and sustained investment in sexual violence support, response and prevention in Australia. The DFSV Commissioner tabled her 3rd report to the federal parliament yesterday. "She said sexual violence also needed to be treated as a distinct problem, with more than half of sexual violence incidents happen outside family relationships. Limiting the national conversation to domestic violence reforms risks obscuring those cases, the report warns." "It acknowledged the government action taken thus far, but said it was not at the pace or scale needed to keep up with the exploding rates of sexual violence."
