Violence against women in Canada is 'pervasive and systemic' – UN envoy

Violence against women in Canada is a “serious, pervasive and systemic problem”, according to a United Nations envoy who recently wrapped an investigative trip to the country.
Dubravka Šimonović, the UN’s special rapporteur on violence against women, applauded the Canadian government, led by Justin Trudeau, for its commitment to championing the rights of women and girls – but she urged officials in the country to do more.

“Violence against women in Canada is still a serious, pervasive and systemic problem: an unfinished business that requires urgent actions,” said Šimonović recently after 13 days spent travelling the country last month.
Among the issues flagged in her preliminary findings was how the justice system deals with sexual assault complaints. A handful of rulings in recent years – from an Alberta judge who asked a complainant why she just couldn’t keep her knees together to another in Quebec who suggested a sexual assault complainant might have been a “bit flattered” by the attention – have prompted a Canada-wide conversation on the issue.
Šimonović recommended survivors be provided with free legal advice and that police officers and prosecutors be given specialised sexual assault training to broaden their understanding of rape myths and the legal standard of consent.
Young women between the ages of 15 and 25 years in Canada are at particularly high risk of experiencing sexual violence, she said. In 2014, 41% of those who self-reported sexual assault cases were students, with 90% of the cases committed against women.
Šimonović called on various levels of government to do more for women and children escaping violence, noting that there exists a “dire shortage” of shelters as well as a general lack of affordable housing. “Many women who have fled from domestic violence are subsequently forced to return to their homes, exposing themselves to the risk of facing further violence.”
Much of her preliminary findings focused on indigenous women in Canada, who, she said, “face marginalisation, exclusion and poverty because of institutional, systemic, multiple, intersecting forms of discrimination that have not been addressed by the state”.
She added: “Such deep-rooted discrimination stems from the long-standing intergenerational trauma resulting from colonialism, and discriminatory legal provision and practices.”

Statistics suggest that indigenous women are three times more likely to be physically or sexually assaulted and four times more likely to go missing or be murdered than non-indigenous women in Canada.
While she welcomed the launch of a national inquiry into the as many as 4,000 indigenous women who have gone missing or have been murdered in recent decades, she highlighted that indigenous women continue to be overrepresented as victims of human trafficking in Canada.
Indigenous women are also overrepresented in prison – a grim trend that shows little sign of abating, she noted. Between 2001 and 2012, the number of incarcerated indigenous women increased by 109%. Indigenous women now make up 33% of the country’s inmates, despite the fact that indigenous peoples account for less than 4% of the Canadian population.
She urged Canada to tackle this discrimination, drawing a direct line between violence against women and government legislation that has for 150 years made it harder for First Nations women to hold status and pass it to their descendants.

She pointed to the disproportionate number of indigenous children caught in Canada’s child welfare system – described by one government official as a “humanitarian crisis” that echoes the horrors of a residential school system that saw 150,000 indigenous children forcibly removed from their homes – as another area of concern. “This harmful policy maintains and perpetuates the cycle of violence, with aboriginal women being made unable to break it and change it,” said Šimonović.

The woman that did the study comes from the world leader in women's rights of the Republic of Croatia. One would think you should clean up your own backyard before pressing on the world what they should do.

Dubravka Šimonović, Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women, its causes and consequences

Ms. Dubravka Šimonovic was appointed as United Nations Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences in June 2015 by the UN Human Rights Council for an initial three years' tenure (maximum tenure of six years). She started her tenure on 1 August 2015.
Ms. Šimonović was a member of the CEDAW Committee between 2002 and 2014, and served as its Chairperson in 2007 and 2008, its follow-up Rapporteur from 2009 to 2011 and as the Chairperson of the Optional Protocol Working Group in 2011.
For a number of years she headed the Human Rights Department at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Croatia and was posted as the Minister Plenipotentiary at the Permanent Mission of Croatia to the United Nations in New York. She was also the Ambassador to the OSCE and United Nations in Vienna, Austria. She was the Chairperson of the UN Commission on the Status of Women between 2001 and 2002 and also worked as a member of the UNIFEM Consultative Committee.
At the regional level she was the Chair and Vice Chair of the Council of Europe’s Task Force to combat violence against women, including domestic violence in 2006 and 2007. Between 2008 and 2010, she co-chaired the Ad hoc Committee (CAHVIO) that elaborated the Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence.
Ms. Šimonović holds a PhD in family law from the University of Zagreb. She is the author of several books and articles on women’s rights and violence against women. She also lectured at the Harvard Law School, Nottingham University, Urban Morgan Institute for Human Rights (University of Cincinnati) and at the Women’s Human Rights Training Institute organized by the Bulgarian Gender Research Foundation.
Dr Dubravka Šimonovic is a Visiting Professor in Practice in the Centre for Women, Peace and Security at LSE.

Maybe the UN will condemn trudeau for being so anti-woman.

Hell, I'm surprised that the UN had nothing to say about trudeau smacking that poor woman in the boobs... She was just standing there minding her own business ~ what did she do to deserve that sexual assault?

This is a direct accusation on Trudeau.

Respect for women should start at the top and elbowing women in their breast and mansplaining shows absolutely none.

Cathy Bennett says she was intimidated within Liberal caucus, cabinet

Newfoundland and Labrador MHA Cathy Bennett says she was intimidated within her own Liberal caucus and cabinet, which ultimately contributed to her stepping down as provincial finance minister.
Bennett's claims come amidst claims of harassment and bullying within the ranks of the Liberal Party. In the last week both Eddie Joyce and Dale Kirby have been removed from caucus and their cabinet positions due to allegations by MHAs in both the Liberal and PC parties.
Bennett stepped down as finance minister last July, and many assumed it was because of personal attacks she faced on social media .
However, in an exclusive interview with CBC Radio's St. John's Morning Show , Bennett said her departure had a lot to do with the bullying and intimidation she received from her own fellow Liberals in both cabinet and caucus meetings.
Bennett stopped short of naming specific politicians who intimated her.

Responsibility to speak out

Bennett said the bullying she was subjected to during her time in cabinet took many forms, such as being isolated from discussions through what she calls a "mobbing" effect, which is when a group of people overwhelmingly support one opinion and discount any dissenting ones.
She also referred to being subjected to "mild gaslighting," which is when one is manipulated to believe they are out of line or even crazy, or the bystander effect, where the majority sides with the bully despite whether they agree with them or not.
Bennett said she was inspired to speak out in the wake of the allegations against Eddie Joyce and Dale Kirby, who both were removed from caucus in the last week.
"I have very brave colleagues who've spoken out. Both Sherry Gambin-Walsh and Tracey Perry have made it safer for me to come forward," she said.
"Just like I felt a responsibility in December of 2016, I feel a responsibility to come forward and support my collegues."

Cultural problem

Bennett said one example of the isolation she experienced would be when other caucus members would purposely not talk to her in meetings, or when others would make decisions behind her back without her input.
"You can have disagreements about policy. I think that's one of the really important things," she said.
"But when your difference of opinion turns into quiet whisper campaigns, or things like being excluded from discussions, that's where it crosses a line."

Say, maybe we can all chip-in and buy trudeau a couple of wife-beaters (aka tank tops)... One for each day of the week when he's out smacking women around (but for their own good, you understand)
