Sexual Violence Legislation Bill passes its final hurdle
December 17, 2021 at 3:21 PM
The Minister of Justice and the Minister for the Prevention of Family Violence and Sexual Violence have welcomed the Sexual Violence Legislation Bill passing its final stage in Parliament.
The Bill makes changes to the parts of the court process which research shows cause trauma to victims of sexual violence.
“As well as reducing unnecessary harm, the changes will see cases based on relevant information, and not myths about sexual violence, such as a victim somehow asking for it,” Minister of Justice Kris Faafoi said.
"We know that victims of sexual violence often don’t come forward because they fear the process of seeking justice will end up doing them more harm. Over time, the changes in this Bill will help to address this issue," Kris Faafoi said.
