520 _aWithin Aotearoa/New Zealand’s justice system and help-providing professions, little is known or understood about LGBTQI experiences of sexual harm. In this research report, which is based on research I conducted as part of my Masters of Public Policy, I demonstrate that institutional and legal frameworks, as well as wider societal understandings of sexual violence, create intersecting barriers to help-seeking and justice for LGBTQI people who have experienced sexual harm. These discriminating factors are found to be symptomatic of a wider societal heteronormative discourse, which further delegitimises traumatised LGBTQI victims of sexual harm. Subsequently, LGBTQI people rarely attempt to seek help or justice in the aftermath of their assault. This report identifies three challenging issues facing the LGBTQI community in Aotearoa/New Zealand regarding their experiences of sexual harm, and argues that policy makers seeking to address these issues need to adopt a more holistic approach that considers wider socio-cultural discourses of gender, sexuality, and sexual violence.
