The following submissions are not exhaustive. They cover elements of state responsibility in relation to prevention, protection, prosecution, punishment and compensation necessary for addressing sexual violence against women. State response and law reform relating to all sexual crimes is needed and necessary. In fact any plan to deter aggravated sexual assault must include action against lesser and routine sexual offences. Our submissions therefore go beyond the limited scope of reference assigned to the Committee, and we strongly recommend that the Committee’s recommendations address comprehensive changes that are long overdue
