Abstract

The Queensland Government recognises every child's right to feel safe and free from harm. In 2012 the Department of Premier and Cabinet commissioned Griffith University to examine Youth Sexual Violence and Abuse in West Cairns and Aurukun. The results of this examination highlighted evidence of youth sexual violence and abuse and the risks for the future. As a result, the Queensland Government has committed to taking positive action focused on the prevention of youth sexual violence and abuse in Queensland. This commitment is just one of many Queensland Government initiatives designed to better support children and families. The Preventing Youth Sexual Violence and Abuse in West Cairns and Aurukun: Establishing the scope, dimensions and dynamics of the problem report was authored by Professor Stephen Smallbone, Susan Rayment-McHugh and Dimity Smith. It was commissioned by the Queensland Government in 2011 and received in September 2013. This report has been redacted. The redactions cover information that may be personal, that would identify individuals and some statistics in the research that are low numbers in a small community, which although may not reasonably lead to the identification of individuals, may none the less constitute a risk.
