“Currently there’s a misunderstanding that the act, which is objectively a sexual assault, is acceptable behaviour, so we need to change that,” she explained.

“I am incredibly proud that the ACT has passed nation-leading laws to specifically to criminalise stealthing,” she said. 

“Stealthing is a traumatic thing for anyone to go through; it is a gross breach of trust during an incredibly vulnerable time and can have massive physical, psychological, and emotionally impacts.”
