| | Finding justice | |
If you could change anything about Australia's justice system so it better supports survivors of sexual assault, what would it be?
Argentina has specialist police stations staffed mainly by women.
The service specialises in sexual and family violence cases and includes officers, lawyers and counsellors.
In the week where Attorney General Michaelia Cash announced the Sex Discrimination Act will be amended to include politicians and judges, RN explores different approaches aimed at helping sexual assault survivors find justice.
And as always, we have lots of other stories on a diverse range of topics so you can 'think bigger' and be the most interesting conversation starter this weekend.
There are trees that eat metals from the soil they grow in. Scientists hope farming these trees could be an alternative to mining metals such as nickel.
Also, hear from other RN readers and listeners on their experiences with divorce and whether amicable separations are at all possible. The Life Matters series exploring this very question, The Good Divorce, is now available to stream and download from the ABC Listen app.
Happy reading and listening,
