Linda Reynolds will always be the woman who sued and bankrupted a rape victim. What a reputation.

This article is a gut punch. Our courts and media keep shielding the powerful while survivors are left to carry the pain alone. When women’s safety is sacrificed to protect reputations, justice fails. Survivors deserve truth, dignity and justice.

When our courts and media protect the powerful, women pay a devastating price
Our courts tell women that when we seek justice, we should be prepared to fight not only the men who harmed us but the systems that protect them.

It's great to see Victoria introducing a bill to ban the use of NDAs against victims in workplace sexual harassment (SH) cases.
But it's unclear whether this would cover cases of SH in education, too. It's so common, and it's vital to prevent universities and other institutions silencing victims.

It shouldn’t take bravery for survivors to come forward about sexual assault.
It only takes bravery because the systems that are supposed to protect survivors betray them. In a more just world, it would be easy for survivors to come forward and we would all be waiting to hear and help them.

This much needed reform will help prevent and tackle sexual violence on campus, and would not have happened without tenacious survivor advocates.
