Labour is poised to roll out specialist rape courts across Britain amid a migrant sex crime epidemic.
Over the next two years, the Prime Minister announced that courts across England and Wales will be given at least one room for trials on rape and sexual offences in a bid to speed along postponed cases.
The new changes are also designed to encourage more victims to come forward by providing more privacy, including private entrances and waiting rooms.
Courts will be decked out with facilities equipped to pre-record evidence and observe sentencing remotely.
Announcing the "long overdue" pledge, Mr Burnham said: "For too long, victims of rape and serious sexual offences have felt let down by our justice system.
"Prosecution rates for rape remain shamefully low, with many victims waiting years for justice.
"This is not good enough. That’s why we are making major changes to rebalance the scales of justice and put victims first. This includes rolling out specialist courtrooms for rape and serious sex offences.
"These changes are long overdue and will make a significant difference, but focusing on prosecution alone will not be enough.
"So as well as ensuring victims get justice, we will step up action to prevent these horrific crimes from happening in the first place."
Meanwhile, Justice Secretary Alex Norris said that rape victims "have felt they’ve been left alone facing the criminal justice system for too long".
"They have been treated as cases to process and not as people to support," the Lord Chancellor added.
“Real action to improve our courts. Real action for victims. Real action to deliver the justice they deserve."
Ciara Bergman, CEO of Rape Crisis England & Wales has welcomed the "significant step for our justice system".
"Taken together, they reflect the urgency of ensuring that courts are fit for purpose and properly meet the needs of victims and survivors, which is crucial to securing justice," she said.

The Shadow Justice Secretary, Nick Timothy, said tackling the delays in criminal rape trials was "long overdue".
"The fact that victims have been withdrawing their cases because they have taken too long has been a disgrace," he said.
Staff will also be provided with "trauma-informed" training as well as a trial to offer victims of sex crimes a contact to ensure they have everything they need throughout the process.
Part of the massive injection of cash will contribute to setting up a Rape Justice Taskforce, enlisting leaders across the criminal justice system to combat the increased rate of postponed rape trials.
They will also work towards expelling the claim that lead to victims deciding to withdrawing their cases.
Mr Burnham's latest funding promise has come as Britain continues to endure a sharp hike in migrant sex crimes.
Last year, sex crimes by foreign nationals skyrocketed by 62 per cent in just four years, research revealed.
Foreign nationals account for one-in-seven of sexual offence convictions last year, including rapes, according to Ministry of Justice (MoJ) data, drawn from the Police National Computer (PNC).
The rate of increase between 2021 and 2024 is significantly higher than for British nationals, whose sexual offence convictions rose by 39.3 per cent over the same period.
The nationalities with the highest amount of convictions for sexual offences were Indians, Romanians, Poles, Pakistanis and Afghans.
