To Report or Not To Report: Survivor Testimony of the (In)Justice System sheds light on the real-life experiences of rape survivors in their decision to report, or not to report, what happened to them.
Only a minority of rape survivors report the crime. Why is this?
Only a small proportion of those reported rapes are prosecuted. What’s it like to live through that betrayal of the justice process?
Only a tiny minority of rape prosecutions end in a conviction. How does that feel to a survivor?
With chapters written by survivors who joined the ReConnected Life Community, this book shines a light on the Justice System from those who are rarely heard: the victim. This is the perspective that is silenced by that system because the System isn’t personal: this is personal.
The final section includes perspectives from professionals supporting survivors in and around the Justice System. With perspectives from Jessica Eaton, Rhiannon Evans, Dr Sarah Heke, Annie Rose and Lynne Tooze, Lucy Allwright and Jennifer Holly, and Dr. Nina Burrowes, they highlight some of the critical issues and share some thoughts for how to solve them.

Have you ever been in a situation where YOU are the only thing standing in your way of receiving the breakthrough you know you deserve?
Have you ever procrastinated over something that you knew you needed to do, something that could essentially change your life for the better, even forever?
Of course, you have! We all do at some stage …
Well, that was me less than 24 hours ago; things in life are changing rapidly and moving so quickly … You better keep up!! I’m ready to go to the next level in my life but my little old ‘frienemy’ FEAR stood up in my chest and tried to hold me back! I can tell you, the sweat that poured from my head😰👩🏾 could have filled a bucket, my heart was pounding so hard through my chest I thought it was going to burst through, all I had to do was make a decision and answer a simple question of YES or No!
So do you know what I did … I said YES!
When you focus on and say YES to your own aspirations and dreams, it opens you up to the core of life itself.
Saying YES pushes you past fear, doubt and sometimes shame, and reconnects you with the goddess within.
When you say YES you are giving yourself permission to acknowledge, accept and align with your higher calling & purpose and that same YES will allow you to share your gifts and passion with the world!
Let your YES Be Bold – Let your YES be Fearless – Let your YES be Authentic – Let you’re YES be YOU!!!
