Bailey McCourt was killed on Friday by her male ex-partner. Last year he was charged with uttering threats and assault by chocking her but the charges were stayed. Yet another case of #femicide that could have been prevented 💔 #MVAW

Our letter to Kelowna Prosecution Service regarding the #femicide of Bailey Plover  We want to know why he was allowed to follow up on his threats? Why was he released without proper measures to supervise and monitor his whereabouts and actions? Why was he allowed to kill her?

“Restorative justice” has nothing to do with #justice #acountability or #deterrence We need to demand that the #criminaljustice system actually does its job in holding rapists accountable #JusticeDenied #CoercedConsent is #NoConsent #WeBelieveHER We know they are #Guilty

Some good news for a change… Last week, the #SupremeCourt of #Canada upheld the conviction of two men who were profiting as “drivers” from the #exploitation of women in #prostitution. The Court accepted our submission as intervener (the Women’s Equality Coalition)

“an individual of otherwise good character”… that’s how the judge described the man who was convicted of raping a woman that knew him as a close family friend since she was a young girl and considered him to be like an uncle.
