After bravely standing up and testifying against a perpetrator in a criminal trial, many victims of Domestic Misconduct (D.M) often find themselves left without the necessary protections once the trial concludes. This frightening reality leaves them vulnerable to further trauma, with no adequate systems in place to ensure their safety and peace of mind after they have taken the courageous step to seek justice.This current gap in legal protection fails those who need it most—the very individuals who have experienced the trauma of abuse, harassment, or violence. Despite having gone through the arduous process of a trial, these victims are left unprotected, placing them back in harm's way and potentially silencing others who have yet to come forward due to fear of further repercussions.Recent studies and reports highlight that over 60% of crime victims feel unsafe after the trial has ended. This statistic underscores the urgent need for legislative reform to establish robust post-trial protections for victims of D.M. It's vital to introduce laws that provide restraining orders or protection programs that automatically activate post-trial to safeguard victims from retaliation or continued harassment by the convicted or their associates.
We call upon lawmakers and the Department of Justice to prioritize the safety and welfare of crime victims beyond the courtroom. By implementing a comprehensive framework that runs post-trial, our legal system can truly support victims not just in seeking justice, but in reclaiming their lives afterward.

Help create a safer, more supportive legal environment for crime victims by urging our government to revise the current laws and improve protection measures post-trial. Your signature is more than just an endorsement; it’s a step towards ensuring that justice doesn’t end at the courtroom Victims of domestic violence deserve safety, dignity, and justice — not more fear and humiliation.

Right now, too many victims are dragged through the mud during trials. Their past and present are torn apart in court, while the perpetrator’s history of abuse is often hidden from the jury. This is deeply unfair and re-traumatizes those who have already suffered enough.

We are calling for a change in the law to better protect victims of domestic violence throughout the legal process.

Our proposals

Automatic Non-Molestation Orders:
Victims should automatically receive a non-molestation order when a case goes to court — preventing any contact, intimidation, or harassment from the perpetrator.
Fair Court Treatment:
Victims should not have their private lives used against them. Trials must focus on the perpetrator’s actions, not on shaming or discrediting the victim.
Disclosure of Perpetrator’s History:
Juries should be allowed to hear relevant evidence about a perpetrator’s past abusive or violent behavior to ensure a fair and truthful understanding of the case.
Emotional and Legal Support:
Victims should have access to trauma-informed support throughout the legal process to help them feel safe, believed, and empowered.
This law would give victims the protection and respect they deserve — ensuring that justice does not come at the cost of their mental health or safety.
