in WA:\n Over a quarter (27%) of all sexual assault incidents were family and domestic\nviolence related.\n Most victim-survivors were female (86%).\n A higher proportion of males (80%) than females (59%) were aged under 18\nyears at the time of the incident.\n Most sexual assaults occurred at a residential location and did not involve the\nuse of a weapon.56\nAccording to national court data, in WA:\n Sexual offences have the lowest conviction rate.\n Most convictions of sexual offences are the result of guilty pleas, with far fewer\nconvictions following a trial, and this

and alcohol and drug use, and is described as having become normalised\nin some communities, with victims wondering whether the violence was their fault.19\nAboriginal and Torres Strait Islander

potential for profoundly\ndetrimental effects on a child’s health, safety and development.37 These impacts may\nbe immediate and/or short-term, or may lead to long-term developmental, mental,\nphysical and social problems.38 Adult victim-survivors of child sexual abuse are at\nparticular risk of experiencing negative impacts from sexual abuse including: suicidal\nbehaviour; psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and post-traumatic stress\ndisorder; substance misuse, future victimisation and offending.39 Not all victims will\nexperience these difficulties, and family support and strong peer relationships appear\nto be important protective factors for reducing the impacts and improving outcomes\nwhen appropriate support is provided.40\nIssues in focus\nThere are some key issues that need to be considered in addressing sexual\nviolence.\n Source: `strategies/sexual-violence-prevention-response-strategy-draft-consultation_0.pdf

were family and domestic\nviolence related.\n Most victim-survivors were female (86%).\n A higher proportion of males (80%) than females (59%) were aged under 18\nyears at the time of the incident.\n Most sexual assaults occurred at a residential location and did not involve the\nuse of a weapon.56\nAccording to national court data, in WA:\n Sexual offences have the lowest conviction
