Survivors, advocates, and scholars have long&nbsp;voiced significant concerns about the criminal legal system as&nbsp;an&nbsp;appropriate avenue&nbsp;to redress sexual violence and prevent future harm.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Less than 6% of sexual assaults&nbsp;in Canada&nbsp;are&nbsp;reported to the police, with fewer going all the way to a trial. Many survivors also report&nbsp;being re-traumatized by the criminal process, which involves intense\u2014and often invasive\u2014scrutiny&nbsp;over personal details. In addition, survivors do not have control over the criminal process because they&nbsp;are considered&nbsp;witnesses, not direct parties, in a criminal trial.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3
