NWC Submission to the General Scheme of Criminal Law and Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill

NWC Submission to the General Scheme of Criminal Law and Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2025, particularly Parts 2, 5 (Head 19) and 12 (Head 39). We cautiously welcome this Bill, as it represents a progressive step towards safeguarding survivors' rights in court systems and address women’s sexual exploitation. To operate as intended, we are calling for the legislation to be more survivor centred and trauma informed in order to have a victim centred justice system.
