Brought to you in partnership with Geelong Women Unionist Network and March4Justice Geelong.
Our current Rule of Law in rape and sexual assault charges is so weighted against victim/survivors that rarely men are found guilty of these crimes and victim/survivors and often traumatised again. Very few women report these crimes, fewer get to court and even fewer have successful outcomes.
Often when women speak up about these crimes the public do not recognise the validity unless it is proved in criminal court. Not every woman wants a criminal process and less want the system we currently have.
At this event speakers including Adele Welsh from Geelong Women Unionist Network and Tony North QC, Chair of the Victorian Law Reform Commission and Facilitator Glenda Mac Naughton will discuss our current system in rape and sexual assault cases and explore changes and other ways for us to better provide justice for victim/survivors and the community.
