  《司法系統對性暴力受害人的保障研討會》 “Seminar on Protection of Sexual Violence Victims in Judicial System” Dear Friend, Established on March 8, 1997, the Association Concerning Sexual Violence Against Women works to raise awareness on sexual violence against women. Through continuous endeavor and care, the Association encourages both government and community to offer victims proper support in order to pursue their legitimate interests and facilitate them to restore their life with confidence and dignity. Protective measures of the judicial system for sexual violence victims bear much weight on reducing second trauma on the part of the victims. It is important to recognize the needs of the victims when they go through judicial procedure.
