| dc.description.notes | Violence against women and girls is a widespread and serious violation of human<br/ >rights that has severe physical, psychological, emotional and social consequences. The<br/ >process of bringing a complaint into the criminal justice system can be a difficult<br/ >and traumatizing experience for many victims for different reasons. Gender bias and<br/ >discrimination fuel myths around such violence which shape the criminal justice<br/ >response to these crimes. Many victims never report their victimization or they have<br/ >been filtered out of the criminal justice system, resulting in low charge and conviction<br/ >rates. A victim's decision to report gender-based violence and continue within the<br/ >criminal justice system is one of the most important factors affecting the prosecution<br/ >of cases. The way in which the criminal justice professionals initially respond to<br/ >victims is critical in determining whether a victim chooses to participate in further<br/ >legal action, or abandons it because she has experienced secondary victimization<br/ > or harsh treatment by the criminal justice system. | en |
