Sanja Bornman is a senior attorney specialising in gender law and policy, with a focus on protecting the rights of women, children, and LGBTIQ+ communities.
Sanja says:
‘A number of recent high-profile cases have highlighted deeply concerning gaps in the knowledge of the public, and even government officials and other office bearers, about sexual offences and the law. We cannot combat violence against women and children if we do not know our tools, or understand the systems in which these tools must be used.’
Sanya’s underreported topics that need attention:
- The defunding of shelters and services for victims
- The lack of meaningful public education to get rid of rape myths
