新南威尔士州政府宣布建立专门的法律援助服务，为性暴力幸存者提供免费法律支持。1该项目投入174万澳元，是政府620万澳元性暴力司法响应方案的一部分，并获得联邦资金支持。1
这项新服务的唯一资格标准是曾经历过性暴力，对全州所有致电者开放。1服务将提供关于刑事程序、警方调查和诉讼中的权益、受害者赔偿等方面的建议。1该举措旨在帮助受害者更好地了解自身权利，并减轻司法系统可能带来的创伤。
根据相关案例，Shannon Stokes因起诉前任男友的性暴力和家暴罪行历时2年11天，检察官最终获得11项指控中9项的定罪。1这反映了性暴力受害者在寻求司法救济过程中的艰辛。
The New South Wales government has announced the establishment of a dedicated legal aid service for sexual violence survivors, investing $1.74 million in the initiative 1. The program represents part of a broader $6.2 million sexual violence justice response scheme that has received federal funding 1.
The service will be available to all callers across the state whose only qualification is having experienced sexual violence 1. It will provide guidance on criminal procedures, victims' rights during police investigations and litigation, and victim compensation matters 1. According to the government, the program aims to help survivors better understand their legal entitlements and reduce the trauma associated with navigating the justice system 1.
The announcement comes as Shannon Stokes' case highlights the challenges survivors face in seeking accountability. Stokes spent two years and eleven days pursuing justice against her former partner for sexual assault and domestic violence charges, ultimately resulting in nine convictions out of eleven counts brought by prosecutors 1.
