WHEREAS violence against women is a Canadian public health crisis that demands urgent action; WHEREAS one in four women experience domestic violence in their lifetime. One woman or girl is killed every other day, on average, somewhere in our country; WHEREAS the current Canadian court system is not equipped to protect women. According to the National Judicial Institute, there is no mandatory education for Judges on domestic violence. Judges need education on what constitutes domestic violence or coercive control. A formal education program would ensure another line of defense for victims, as well as preventing violence and abuse before it happens; WHEREAS Halton Regional Police Service (HPRS) is raising the alarm bells about domestic assaults after a jump in intimate partner violence-related charges by more than 140 percent last month compared to a year ago. HRPS estimates officers responded to more than 4,000 intimate partner violence calls in 2021, and average10 calls per day; WHEREAS according to Article 19 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, children must be protected from “all forms of physical or mental violence, injury or abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation, including sexual abuse, while in the care of parent(s), legal guardian(s) or any other person who has care of the child.” Our current family justice system often fails our children in this regard; WHEREAS in worst case scenarios, children are killed by a violent parent.
