START: ‘I am here in a unique position.
Usually I stand at the bar,
but now I am in this courtroom as a witness,
a complainant,
a victim.
As a barrister I have questioned women in sexual assault cases on the assumption that the evidence can be delivered in a clean, logical package.
[... …]
END: Because,
the truth is that
one in every three women are sexually assaulted.
And their voices need to be heard.
They need to be believed,
for justice to be done.’
