In this podcast, the rights for victims and survivors are explained as disproportionately compromised by an overabundance of caseloads, insufficient financial resources, and limited manpower. This can leave victims exposed to injustices and more. Kelsey McKay, as a former prosecutor and a highly recognized expert on criminal asphyxiation, domestic violence, sexual abuse and other forms of power-based crimes, explores this issue of improving legal representation for survivors of gender-based violence.
