Victim Revictamisation Awareness

I am a survivor of sexual abuse, and unfortunately, I have also been a victim of revictimization by the police. This traumatic experience has resulted in recurring nightmares and resurfacing memories that are detrimental to my mental well-being. It's not just me; there are countless others who share similar experiences.Revictimization occurs when survivors are subjected to further trauma after their initial ordeal, often due to insensitive handling by authorities or legal procedures. According to the World Health Organization, one in three women worldwide experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime - this means millions could potentially face revictimization.In cases where the perpetrator seeks removal from the register, it is crucial that victims be notified through appropriate channels such as Victim Support. This ensures they are prepared for any changes and can take necessary measures for their safety and mental health.The current system risks causing relapses in victims' lives due to trauma reappearing unexpectedly. It's time we address this issue head-on and ensure our legal system protects survivors instead of adding to their pain.We need your help to make this change happen. Sign this petition today so we can urge law enforcement agencies across the country to adopt better practices that prevent revictimization of sexual abuse survivors.
