Vancouver Rape Relief’s shadow report to CEDAW

We urge the committee to call on Canada to denounce and condemn any attempt to intimidate, threat, attack, silence and boycott women’s groups and individual women for speaking up on the unique experience and needs of female born women and girls and remind Canada that the “Attempts to silence women based on the views they hold regarding the scope of gender identity and sex in law and in practice and the rights associated with these, severely affects their participation in society in dignity and in safety, as well as their country’s prosperity and development.”

Criminal Justice System Femicide Women Only Space

This shouldn’t have happened: An open letter to BC Premier and AG on the tragic murder of Tori Dunn and other cases of femicide in British Columbia

Routinely, men that are deemed dangerous by Crown prosecutors and judges, as evidenced by the granting of protection orders and/or no-contact as a bail condition, are released into the community and as a result, fatally harm women. Canada’s Criminal Code and the corresponding Provincial Policy allow pre-trial detention “for the protection or safety of the public” (including a victim). Are women not considered “the public”? Don’t women deserve protection and safety?
