Often we know that when people come forward, it's not immediately a case of, “I want an investigation. I want punitive measures against the perpetrator”. Often it's a series of stages the survivor goes through, starting with maybe needing counselling, then perhaps peer support, then perhaps other steps, and at that point she might be ready to say, “Yes, I want to formally report a complaint”.
How does SMRC assist the survivors to get from the various different stages and the various different needs they may have over the course of time?
