Background
Sexual violence remains a pervasive issue that deeply impacts the safety, dignity, and well-being of women in Northern Ireland. Current laws and support systems are insufficient, leaving many survivors without justice or adequate care. Stronger legal protections, longer sentences for offenders, and better resources for survivors are essential to preventing further harm. The Government must take immediate action to ensure a coordinated response that holds offenders accountable and supports the victims of these crimes.
