Last week saw the murderer of Holly Bramley sentenced to Jail for life. The Killer, subjected Holly to a life of domestic abuse. He horrifically killed, cruelly dismembered and disposed of her body when she tried to escape. The perpetrator was known to the police. The stage in which a survivor leaves a relationship is one of the highest points for domestic abuse homicide. More needs to be done to ensure that abusive behaviour, escalation and threats are recognised and acted upon by professionals, police and services, so that they may intervene at earlier opportunities. There needs to be further investment into domestic abuse services and support for when a survivor leaves so they can leave safely and rebuild their lives. Perpetrators need to be held accountable sooner. A comprehensive exploration of a perpetrators past behaviours and tendencies could potentially help recognise and intervene in situations where there is a risk of domestic abuse escalation. It is estimated that 2 women a week are killed by a current or former partner, 75,000 people in the UK are at high risk of being murdered or seriously injured as a result of domestic abuse (Safe Lives, 2023). It is important to remember women who are killed are not just a statistic. Say their name. Holly Bramley, our thoughts are with you, your family and your friends. Should your organisation need support in understanding and recognising domestic abuse, high risk indicators, coercive and controlling behaviour and all its different trajectories, please get in contact with our training and development team - training@thechangeportfolio.org Should you have a client who you have concerns for regarding their abusive behaviour, get in contact with The Change Project – tcp@thechangeportfolio.org

Reported sexual violence in Queensland continues its upward climb in the latest recorded police crime statistics for 2022-23 with a 7.2% increase in rape and attempted rape and 1.6% for other sexual offences, in the last 12 months. That's a 106.1% increase over 9 years for rape and attempted rape but 226% increase over the last 2 decades. For other sexual offences it's a 36% increase over 9 years but 42% over the last 2 decades. According to the National Plan to End VAW and Children, prevalence of sexual violence is increasing across all domains, which is also consistent with feedback from sexual violence specialist services. Though reporting is increasing - numerically - according to the Personal Safety Survey (ABS) overall reporting rates to police have reduced from 13% in 2016 to 8% in 2021-2022, but when combined with increased reports to police, is also evidence of increased prevalence. Responding to sexual violence in Queensland requires a 10-year plan with tangible outcomes to increase focus on response and prevention, if this upward trajectory is going to change. See QSAN'S 10 Point Plan to addressing sexual violence posted previously.

Child sexual abuse was prosecuted under the following sections of the Indian Penal Code: I.P.C. (1860) 375- Rape I.P.C. (1860) 354- Outraging the modesty of a woman I.P.C. (1860) 377- Unnatural offences However, such a measure had drawbacks since the IPC could not effectively protect the child due to various loopholes like: IPC 375 doesn’t protect male victims or anyone from sexual acts of penetration other than “traditional” peno-vaginal intercourse. IPC 354 lacks a statutory definition of “modesty”. It carries a weak penalty and is a compoundable offence. Further, it does not protect the “modesty” of a male child. In IPC 377, the term “unnatural offences” is not defined. It only applies to victims penetrated by their attacker’s sex act and is not designed to criminalise sexual abuse of children.
