Thank you so much.
I can't agree more, although I think provincial family law has regularly failed women, particularly in matters involving children.
My question is for you, Dr. Kagan-Viater. You were just talking about the fear of reprisal for coming forward. However, women who experience abuse are also abused by the systems that interrogate them. The abused have to prove they're being abused, and the onus is on the women. From my perspective, that is another vile and violent act against victims of violence.
When we're looking at training, how do you feel we can ensure the justice system doesn't become a secondary abuser to women fleeing violence, especially in cases of coercive control, when there aren't bruises on the face?
