As an advocate for survivors' mental health, I couldn't agree more with the statement that breaking the silence around sexual violence is the crucial first step towards ending it. The power of conversation should never be underestimated, as it has the ability to challenge societal norms, dismantle stigmas, and create a supportive environment for survivors. When survivors of sexual violence come forward and share their experiences, they are often met with skepticism, doubt, and victim-blaming. This not only perpetuates a culture of silence but also aggravates the mental health challenges that survivors face. By starting the conversation, we can shift the focus from victim-blaming to survivor support, empathy, and understanding. It is essential to create a society that is free from sexual violence, where survivors are believed, supported, and given the resources they need to heal. By using hashtags like #BreakTheSilence, #EndSexualViolence, and #BelieveSurvivors, we can amplify the voices of survivors and raise awareness about the prevalence of sexual violence in our communities. As an advocate for survivors' mental health, my role is to provide a safe space for survivors to share their stories, to validate their experiences, and to advocate for their rights. I believe that through education, awareness, and empathy, we can work towards creating a society where survivors are not only heard but also supported throughout their healing journey. Let us stand together, break the silence, and work towards a future where sexual violence is eradicated, and survivors' mental health is prioritized. It is time for change, and I am committed to being a voice for survivors, fostering empathy, and fighting for a world where every survivor can thrive.
Breaking the silence around sexual violence is the first step towards ending it. Let's start the conversation and work towards creating a society free from sexual violence. #BreakTheSilence #EndSexualViolence #BelieveSurvivors

Perhaps the ALRC could consider reviewing Family Violence law, especially the ridiculous notion of cross orders, that are being vexatiously used as a tool to further harm their victims? The fact that my convicted abuser, who has unlicensed, modified guns could: - walk out of jail - into a court, - where he able to apply for a cross order, - was granted a hearing - was granted an interim order ....all on the SAME DAY, is a complete system failure. (Order was eventually dismissed by the court).
