What can be done to decrease sexual violence against migrants?

I think the most important thing to be done to combat sexual violence against migrants is to give them a voice. When migrants come to a new country, especially if they have not obtained paperwork or legal citizenship, many feel like they cannot go to the proper authorities even after they have been sexually assaulted. Undocumented migrants can be deported or reported if they make themselves known to any sort of authorities. Even those who are documented may fear for their own job security or even undocumented family members. Most migrants wish to remain inconspicuous, and reporting sexual violence brings unwelcome attention to themselves and their families. This system enables predatory people and sexual violence committed against migrants. Predators are more likely to committ heinous acts when they are not afraid of the consequences of being reported, tried, and jailed. Migrants, both undocumented and with citizenship, need to be listened to, respected, and protected. A system of these actions could, in time, decrease the high rate of sexual violence committed against migrants.
