Stefanie Yuen Thio was quoted in The Straits Times by Syarafana Shafeeq. The article informed on the availability of more support for victims of sexual violence (p. 6), mentioning that cases involving certain sexual offences will be heard by a list of experienced and specially trained judges.

Stefanie was quoted in her capacity as the SHE chairwoman, saying that other than bringing on more needed expertise in handling such traumatic cases, the move by the courts sends a strong signal that sexual violence cases are unique and require different judicial consideration. For example, victims of sexual violence may wonder if they should blame themselves and feel shame, which may impact how they respond to questions and affect their perceived credibility. The trauma may also affect their memories.

Stefanie also pointed out that online harms are often still seen as less serious than physical harms, despite how online harms, especially those of a sexual nature, can cause significant and long-lasting emotional trauma. She noted that helping the public learn that sexual violence includes harmful online behaviours can help deter potential perpetrators and empower victims to recognise when they are being targeted and seek help.
