In NSW less than 1% of sexual assaults lead to a conviction.

Increasingly those convicted are appealing on minor points of law.

For most women their cases do not get to court because she has no chance of success under the current legal system.

To prove her story the woman has to submit to cross examination which aims to degrade, humiliate and shame her.

The NSW Criminal Justice system is
letting Women down.

We demand:

Immediate changes to the current justice system.

Formation of a high level task force to propose a new system for investigating sexual assault which is fair, just and respectful.
