Queensland Sexual Assault Network

The support of victim survivors needs to be prioritised in all decision making in the response. The Queensland Sexual Assault Network's Angela Lynch said further delays in the court system could cause victims to withdraw their proceedings. "Victims of sexual violence who are currently going through the court processes are feeling the impacts of this because the court system is under pressure, there's already current delays and this is going to add to that," Ms Lynch said. "Those increased delays have an enormous impact … we know if the wait is too long, it increases the chances that [victims] may well withdraw from proceeding through the formal processes."

Groundbreaking research on the perpetration of child sexual abuse by men in Australia. Thankyou UNSW for shining a light on this issue to better inform our policy, service and legal responses. "People really need to ask themselves, we’ve got so many victims in the community, we’ve got so many lives that are impacted by child sexual abuse, but we have comparatively few men in prison for this offence. So who’s responsible for all of this damage?” asked Michael Salter, an associate professor in criminology at UNSW, who helped develop the study. “And that’s what our survey’s highlighting.” **Please note incest and sexual violence discussed**

Critical issue: Minister wields special power for first time in Qld history. Providing a timely and trauma informed response to rape victims seeking a forensic examination at a hospital, is of critical importance. This was highlighted as a key issue of importance by the Women's Safety and Justice Taskforce recently in their report, "Hear Her Voice". If victim-survivors are not supported at this point, many will not report to police and proceed through formal processes, which contributes to ongoing lowly reporting rates. We need brave decision making if we are going to improve safety and justice outcomes for victim survivors in Queensland. We thank the Health Minister for putting her words into action. "Ms Fentiman issued the states first ever Ministerial directive requiring rape victims presenting at Queensland hospitals to be seen within 10 minutes." #sexualviolence #traumainformed #safety
