Previous law reform and adoption of the affirmative consent model have been recognised as significant advancements for victim-survivors in sexual offence trials. However, uncertainties persist regarding the extent of these reforms and their efficacy in addressing sexual assault as a broader social issue.

Online via Zoom
Alongside law reform and legal responses sits preventative initiatives. These legislative reforms have also changed the ways organisations work to prevent these forms of violence.
To mark the International Day of Consent, our panel of experts explore affirmative consent, what it means, how the law is currently working or not working to improve the experience of victim-survivors and how it complements existing prevention programs. The webinar also aims to shed light on further reforms that warrant further investigation.
