🔊 Only 15% of survivors report to the police. Fear, shame, and systemic challenges keep them from seeking justice. It’s time to change that. This Sexual Violence Awareness Week, let’s make it clear: silence must be broken, and shame must change sides. #EndSexualViolence

It is important that professionals within the legal system are fully trained in order to fully implement this new legislation. Previous legislation has been implemented in the past and not fully utilised. Read more about coercive control here:
Coercive control is at the heart of domestic abuse. It’s great to see this - but legislation alone won’t change lives—action, investment, and cultural change must follow. Our statement 👇 #CoerciveControl #DomesticAbuse

We welcome @CommissionerDA's report highlighting the issues within the criminal justice system. Only 5% of police-recorded domestic abuse offences lead to conviction and just 4% of police perpetrators are dismissed. We need systemic reform to ensure better support for survivors.
🧵 Today, I call on Govt and criminal justice leaders to deliver an accountable and consistent criminal justice system. A domestic abuse call is made to police every 30 seconds. But far too many domestic abuse victims tell me the system has failed them. Here's my vision 👇1/4
