There is also a serious lack of qualified and quality Gladue writers and reporters. The process of submitting information or your social history in such a report often requires women to disclose intense histories of sexual trauma, abuse, and domestic abuse. The formalized process itself, where someone discloses their own personal history in a report that will have consequences for their sentencing, requires someone who has quality training and there are not enough people in Canada to do it. Often, women have contacted us because their reports are not complete. They did not feel comfortable disclosing further information, so their sentencing is then incomplete, which completely undermines the purpose of having a social history report.
