I refer to the mentions that services must support "people of all genders," within both the Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Strategy 2025-2035 and the Family Domestic Violence System Reform Plan 2024-2029, and I ask: (a) what services if any, have been identified as appropriate referral points for male victim survivors of sexual or family and domestic violence in each region of Western Australia; (b) how many male victim survivors of sexual or family and domestic violence have sought support from state funded services in each of the last five years; and (c) what formal accommodation pathways exist for men fleeing sexual or family and domestic violence when crisis accommodation is not available?
