I think we often have to think outside the box in terms of prevention strategies. Some of the things we've identified as emerging issues relate to fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, as well as issues of human trafficking and sexual exploitation of women, and changing the language around how we identify victims and what the solutions or possibilities for solutions might be.
They do include thinking outside the box. Women are often not given diversion programs when they are arrested for prostitution, but men are given opportunities for john school, which I think is probably a gender policy that has been created to protect men from criminal charges, whereas women who have been victimized or sexually exploited are charged with a criminal offence and given a criminal record.
That draws them deeper into a system of victimization and ongoing battles with the criminal justice system. Thinking outside the box and looking at opportunities to mentor young women and girls who are involved in the sex trade is probably a better way of preventing abuse and criminal justice infractions within the system and creating positive outcomes for aboriginal women who are too often faced with circumstances like that.
