Around the world, sexual violence laws are failing survivors. From proof of force requirements to discriminatory evidentiary burdens and permitting marital rape to statutes of limitations that place a time limit within which victims can get justice, laws pertaining to sexual violence – especially rape – frequently blame survivors for their own abuse and perpetuate the cycle of harm. In order to end sexual violence, laws that stigmatize victims and hinder the possibility for justice and accountability must be replaced by laws that reflect the true nature of sexual violence, exclude negative stereotypes and myths, and are informed by the experiences of survivors.

It's day 4 of our 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, our focus intensifies on breaking the culture of silence surrounding sexual abuse. Sexual abuse is a gross violation of women's human rights and dignity. It is crucial that we collectively raise our voices and encourage open dialogue, dismantling the barriers that hinder women and girls from reporting or speaking out against sexual violence. It is only by fostering a safe atmosphere that we can empower and protect our girls, ensuring they are heard and supported in their journey towards justice and healing. #16daysofactivism #sdg5 #sgbv #genderequality #genderbasedviolence

CW: mention of gender-based violence Today is the International Day for Elimination of Violence Against Women, and it always hits close to home for me. As a survivor of intimate partner violence and domestic abuse, we have so much more to do to create safer spaces for women, especially Indigenous women like myself. Creating dialogues about these experiences and the many factors that contribute to them including systemic racism, colonial violence, ongoing assimilation and gender-based violence, can foster a deeper sense of understanding for the community and survivors themselves. If you’re looking for ways to help or somewhere to start, education via the many resources NWAC will be sharing is a wonderful first step. I urge you to consider the complex dynamic that exists between violence and colonialism; where does one end and the other begin?
