Fund free civil legal support for survivors of sexual violence

Summary

Create a Government-funded scheme that provides free, specialist civil legal support for survivors of sexual violence. This should cover legal advice, representation, and essential case costs, ensuring survivors can pursue civil claims regardless of income or financial barriers. Most rape cases never reach trial, leaving thousands of survivors with no legal route to accountability. Civil action is often the only remaining path, yet unaffordable for most. Free legal support would provide fair access to justice, reduce the impact of trauma, deter serial offenders, and lower the long-term social and economic costs associated with sexual violence.
