Victims, especially of sexual assault, feel silenced and marginalized within the current justice system.

Safety concerns and feelings of exclusion from decision-making processes are prevalent among victims during court proceedings.

The report advocates for the provision of legal representation for sexual assault victims.

Calls for significant structural reforms to the justice system are highlighted, aiming to prevent re-traumatization and protect victims' mental health.

A notable number of victims are hesitant to engage with the justice system again due to negative experiences.

The report identifies a pervasive fear and mistrust of police among marginalized groups, such as Indigenous communities, migrants, the disabled, and LGBTQ+ individuals.

The Commissioner urges immediate reforms to alleviate the trauma of victims and to ensure their safety and rights are prioritized by the government.
