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.”

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?

Vancouver Rape Relief’s Statement on International Human Rights Day: Canada is not protecting the human rights of Indigenous women

The murder of Marcedes Myran, Morgan Harris, Rebecca Contois and Mashkode Bizhiki’ikwe (Buffalo Woman) at the hands of a man who was known to the Criminal Justice System for previous violent crimes that he committed against women, is tragic evidence of Canada’s failure yet again to guarantee Indigenous women with the most fundamental human rights; the right to life, liberty and security.

BC Prosecution Service’s reply to Vancouver Rape Relief open letter regrading Chilliwack femicide

"The decision whether to oppose or consent to bail, and on what terms, requires Crown Counsel to consider and weigh the competing interests of the accused, the public, and victims. Crown Counsel cannot predict the future actions of the accused with certainty, and thus cannot eliminate all risks. "
