I wish to ask the Minister for Justice and Equality about victims of sexual assault and rape. What steps does the Minister believe can be taken to encourage victims of sexual assault and rape to make complaints if they have been the victims of those criminal acts?

I imagine we can agree that one of the significant policy issues or problems that needs to be addressed is that significant numbers of victims are deterred from making official complaints when they have been the victims of crime. What steps does the Minister believe should be taken to deal with that?
