A Sunshine Coast woman is advocating for a formal review to determine how many alleged victim-survivors have faced barriers to justice following a prosecution change regarding EMDR therapy.

The proposed review aims to address and examine the broader impact of how the use of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) affects the handling and prosecution of abuse allegations for victim-survivors.
