Kate: A Life Dedicated to Preventing Future Violence
Meet Kate - S4JR Coalition Member
“I'm a survivor of Childhood Sexual Abuse and domestic violence, but I think of myself as much more. I'm a feminist, an artist, a friend, and a law student who's dedicated my life to potentially preventing future victims.”
I’m a Survivor and I Stand for Transformative Justice because…
“...while single perpetrators of Childhood SA may face individual punishment, our social system that allows for these atrocities is not addressed. I was abused by a man who, from the outside, was an upstanding community member, which prevented family friends and teachers from taking appropriate steps when the abuse was reported.
I stand for transformative justice because as long as our system continues to place victim's testimonies as secondary to their evaluation of the potential perpetrator, more children will be victimized.”
