Canadian Association of Sexual Assault Centres Response to Bishop O’Connor Case

C.A.S.A.C. questions the acceptability of a Healing Circle in which Aboriginal women are expected to balance the power of the provincial government, the federal government, the defence bar and the interests of the Catholic Church. We challenge any notion of this as a progressive community process.

Press Release: Vancouver Rape Relief’s Response to the Bishop O’Connor Case

It is to be noted that a Healing Circle was not suggested some seven years ago by the First Nations women attacked by Hubert O'Connor. It is suggested only now and by O'Connor's lawyer when the organized force of the Canadian Defence Bar, the Catholic Church, Canadian Parliament and the gender and race biased criminal justice system could not render a full and unequivocal acquittal for O'Connor.
