Cruelty in the courtroom
is not justice.
Harmful rape myths and abusive tactics remain a primary feature of Canadian sexual assault trials.
While the legal profession is rewarded for it, we all pay the price.
These tactics are failing survivors, eroding trust in the justice system,
and ultimately deterring others from reporting.
We’re trying to change that.
Beyond The Verdict is a new survivor-led project to challenge a justice system that puts sexual assault survivors on trial.
