With You We Can

With You We Can is a victim-led network demystifying the police and legal processes for victims of sexual violence while working to improve them. Uniquely informed by both sector and lived expertise, we want victims for whom it is safe to report to be empowered to do so, and for all victims to be informed of their options.

If we create understanding around our criminal justice system, not just for victims going through it but for the general public who might otherwise not engage, we are better placed to reform it.

Stigma, suspicion and a lack of support. That’s our view on why only 10% of sexual assaults are reported. As a result, sexual assault victims are grossly under-represented and do not receive the social or judicial validation that they deserve. While systemic reform is slow-moving, and consent education will be mandated for the next generation, With You We Can is fighting for victims now, by empowering victims to fight for each other. If we normalise understanding of reporting, we chance outcomes for victims everywhere.
