Show Notes
Tens of thousands of women marched in rallies and protests across Australia last week. They sought a renewed dialogue about misogyny, sexual assault and respect.
New Zealand established a specialised court ten years ago to deal sensitively with victims of sexual assault. Angela Lynch from the Women’s Legal Service of QLD joins us to talk about how the court works and why she’s leading a push to establish a similar court here in Australia.
It’s time to start treating victims of sexual assault with the care and respect they deserve – and it might just mean more perpetrators are brought to justice.
