Victims rights
Nationwide
Our names are Anne-Marie and Karen. We were sexually abused as children and need your help to ensure that all of our children are kept as safe as possible in the future. We were automatically given name suppression in court as victims of a sexual crime but now many years later we've found that our abuser has hidden behind our name suppression. We need to try and raise $30,000 to take this all the way to the top court of NZ if necessary to change the law around name suppression so that ONLY the victims benefit from it. Thank you :-)
