- 349 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 399 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
We want the Government to review the court system in order to better prioritise and protect victims of rape and sexual abuse by preventing postponements of trial start dates. Victims can be left in limbo for months or years, which can cause further trauma and deny timely justice.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 381 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
