Take Back the Night is a global rally and march held to reclaim the streets, raise awareness, and build solidarity against sexual violence. The theme for this year’s Take Back the Night events is “Reimagine Justice.” Fewer than 6% of sexual assault survivors come forward and report to police and of those 6%, only 7.3% of cases result in a guilty verdict for their assailant — fewer than in the early 2010s. Rates of sexual and gender-based violence are the highest they’ve been in decades, but positive outcomes in the criminal legal system are actually becoming less and less likely. While our systems fail to hold assailants accountable, survivors of sexual violence commonly find themselves, disbelieved, minimized, retraumatized and even ridiculed by the criminal legal system, as we saw E.M. endure during the junior hockey trial this summer. The criminal legal system does not help survivors. It’s time to imagine something different.
