Sexual violence has serious impacts on the wellbeing of victim-survivors. The Western Australian Government is running two projects to address sexual violence:
- Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Strategy (the Strategy)
- Improving experiences of victim-survivors: Review of criminal justice responses to sexual offending (the Review)
The Strategy will guide prevention, intervention, and service delivery in Western Australia. It will provide a framework for all government agencies to follow.
The Review will look at the whole criminal justice process from the time a person reports through to the time an offender is released from custody. It aims to find out what can be done to improve the experience for victim-survivors of sexual offending.
Consultation
Public consultation for the Strategy and Review is now closed. If you would like more information please contact the project team at the Office of the Commissioner for Victims of Crime.
