The QLD Women’s Safety and Justice Taskforce is currently considering the response of the criminal justice system to issues of sexual violence.
The Taskforce are interested in hearing from victim-survivors (in writing, or via audio or video) about your experience. You can share with the Taskforce as much or as little as you are comfortable sharing.
If you feel you would like to make a submission about your experience, you can do so via the link below (it can be an anonymous submission):
https://www.womenstaskforce.qld.gov.au/consultation/make-a-submission
The deadline for making a submission is Friday 8th April 2022.
You are able to tell the Taskforce about your experience in your own words but you might consider using the following headings to guide your response:
•Did you report your experience of sexual violence to police?
•What did you consider when making this decision?
•If you did report, what was your experience of reporting?
•Did your matter proceed through court?
•If so, what was your experience of going through the court process?
•How did you find interacting with the police, the hospital, support services, the courts and/or court systems?
•Where there any positive experiences for you in going through the criminal justice process?•What needs to be improved to make things better for other victim-survivors in the criminal justice process?
