Authors: Taylor, Natalie

Keywords: Criminal justice responses;Indigenous issues;CALD (culturally and linguistically diverse);Community attitudes
Year: 2007

Citation: No. 345
Notes:  General Overview: This Australian paper reports on findings of a study investigating sexual violence among Indigenous and CALD women. Barriers to reporting and ways to improve the criminal justice system response were examined.

Discussion: The researchers conducted a literature review and consulted with victims/ survivors, community members, community workers and workers in the criminal justice system. The article surveys the information available about the prevalence of sexual violence for Indigenous and CALD women. It reports on the experience of sexual violence, the needs of victims and survivors, the barriers to reporting and ways to encourage reporting. It suggests that attitudes within particular communities need to be addressed and that this will require strong community leadership. Policy implications and directions for further research are also discussed.
