Green Party submits proposal for confidential trace evidence - Green Party Pushes for Expanded Support to Sexual Violence Victims in Saxony
The Green Party in Saxony is advocating for enhanced support for victims of sexual violence. They're proposing a motion to establish confidential evidence preservation facilities statewide. Currently, such services are limited to just two hospitals in Leipzig and one in Chemnitz. The Greens aim to expand this, seeking at least one designated facility in every district and independent city. This would allow victims time to decide whether to involve police or judicial authorities. The evidence would be stored anonymously under a pseudonym and retained for one year. To facilitate this, the Greens propose a standardized digital evidence preservation and information system to assist medical staff. This system would enable them to collect evidence from victims without requiring an immediate police report. Funding for this initiative would be secured through agreements with health insurance providers, hospitals, or private-practice physicians. A public awareness campaign is also planned to promote the service. The Green Party's motion, if passed, would significantly expand access to confidential evidence preservation services across Saxony. This would provide victims of sexual violence with more time and support to make crucial decisions about their cases.
