Victims and survivors of sexual violence are witnesses in court cases about sexual violence, @ANROWSCEO Padma Raman explains, saying it's a hard concept to explain. #mistrustwebinar
"Just trust women is my key take-out of the study," says Kate Minter from @ANROWS, explaining that women are listening when we discuss high profile sexual assaults. #mistrustwebinar
People's attitudes do not develop in a vacuum. The media plays an integral role in influencing these attitudes. Coverage can have the harmful effect of focusing our attention on women's actions while making the perpetrators invisible. Emma Partridge @OurWatchAus #mistrustwebinar
There are a whole load of assumptions about men, men's sexuality and masculinity that we ALSO need to interrogate here. Ordinary masculinity can be based on harmful ideas, like power, control and harmful sex, explains Dr Emma Partridge from @OurWatchAus. #mistrustwebinar
Heather Clarke clearly explains that human memory and recall don't function like a tape recorder. A reality that is not understood by the community who expect women to be able to recall and clearly describe an assault to police immediately. #mistrustwebinar #BelieveHer
If we have attitudes of #mistrust like those present in society, they will filter through to institutions like the police and judiciary. We need a multi-pronged approach to changing these views across society, said @MeenaSingh74. #mistrustwebinar #BelieveHer
While Heather Clarke is discussing trauma so articulately, it's a good time for us to mention that if you find this #mistrustwebinar or the tweets about it distressing, and need support, call 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) or Lifeline (13 11 14).
The attitudes, myths and gender stereotypes that the research has identified as influencing #mistrust are also what drive #VAW. Challenging these misconceptions will prevent VAW from happening in the first place, said Emma Partridge from @OurWatchAus. #mistrustwebinar
Naming the three key components - communicative, affirmative and ongoing - as this report does, is very important, said Heather Clarke (National Association of Services against Sexual Assault). #mistrustwebinar #believeher
"Affirmative consent means that consent is actively sought, and actively given" said @SaxonAdair explaining that there is a bill in NSW Parliament for affirmative consent at the moment. #mistrustwebinar #believeher
Aboriginal women are not seen as 'real' or 'genuine' victims. @MeenaSingh74 explains reporting sexual violence is a problematic space for Aboriginal women with a historical overlay of racism and sexism. #mistrustwebinar #BelieveHer
Even participants in the study acknowledged how difficult it was for victims and survivors to go to police, and yet there was also an expectation that there be a police report for the allegation to be believed. @SaxonAdair says this is concerning and alarming. #mistrustwebinar
The reaction of the first person the victim and survivor discloses to sets the tone for what follows... a bad response can end the victim's and survivor's journey toward justice completely, explained @SaxonAdair. #mistrustwebinar
Why is understanding #mistrust of women's reports of sexual assault important? @ANROWS researcher, Kate Minter, explains that not believing victims and survivors impacts whether they seek help in the first place, healing and justice outcomes. #Mistrustwebinar
