Dozens of supporters & survivors filled
the HOC gallery to watch debate on my Private Member’s Bill; the Keeping Children Safe Act. These massive reforms to the Divorce Act will ensure children are treated like people, rather than property to be split equally divorce.
@rechievaldez@MarkJCarney Congratulations!! Please move swiftly to pass laws that reflect the recommendations of @UNSRVAW to ban parental alienation accusations in family court and reunification "therapies." As more US states do so, Canadian families grow more at risk.
The Sunday’s Observer has exposed ‘the scandal behind closed doors’. Unregulated experts are influencing unsafe court decisions around child contact. I am calling on the President of the Family Division to urgently review cases where these unregulated experts have been appointed.
‘They’re meant to help and did the complete opposite’: many children feel silenced by family courts
Family court is being exposed. From Australia to here in the US, abuse is being dismissed & many “experts” are profiting off ongoing abuse. This must end. https://t.co/rX7o4DLXys
We absolutely agree @debbieatmos and @DrProudman Everyday we hear from women who have been abused in the relationship and post separation. Women tell us that #experts respected in family court, minimise and dismiss domestic abuse and find #pseudoscience#ParentalAlienation
Had a great discussion today with @NAWL_ANFD about how laws can be enhanced to better protect domestic violence victims and survivors. Thank you for all you do to advance women’s equality rights.
Yesterday Senator White asked the Government representative to urge @viraniarif to legislate to stop accusations of parental alienation. This discredited theory puts children at risk by punishing disclosures of family violence.
Keep children safe. #StopAccusationsAlienation
Thank you, MP @Laurel_BC, for raising the urgent issue of parental alienation accusations in Parliament. This discredited theory punishes children and mothers who speak out against family violence.
Since January, over 250 organizations have called on Minister @viraniarif to act.
The @NAWL_ANFD are working to legislate protections against claims of parental alienation.
On Int Day for Elimination of Violence Against Women, the NDP reaffirms our commitment to women & gender-diverse people who deserve to be free from violence & safe in their communities.
Thank you @SenMarilou for standing up for survivors of domestic violence and raising critical concerns about the use of parental alienation accusations. Your advocacy pushes for accountability and stronger protections.
