[Canadian Femicide Observatory 🇨🇦 @CAN_Femicide]

#Femicides will not stop until we begin to address root cases: gender inequality, misogyny, male entitlement, normalization of #MVAWG.

These are big challenges that governments & members of public ignore while blaming victims.

Big challenges cannot be ignored any longer.

As violence against women escalates, Quebec groups renew calls for government to step in, stop the 'madness' #CallItFemicide https://t.co/I0tL3nSUfa

[Jess Hill @jessradio]

This is why we need the law to recognise coercive control. Investigate the pattern, see the escalation. Focusing on incidents is a ridiculous way to respond to domestic abuse. We’ve known about coercive control for decades. Let’s now - finally - make it visible to the law.

[Fred Pol @VilleFredPolice]

Aidez la force policière de Fredericton : n’affichez pas dans les médias sociaux l’emplacement des policiers et de leurs véhicules. Protégez-les.

[Canadian Femicide Observatory 🇨🇦 @CAN_Femicide]

Sexual violence is key factor in killing of women/girls, regardless of whether perpetrators male partners or strangers.

As such, killing of women/girls is significantly different from the killing of men/boys, but both most often killed by men.

That is why we #CallItFemicide.

[Federal Ombudsperson for Victims of Crime (Office) @OFOVC]

Intimate partner violence is a largely hidden & underreported crime. Only 1/3 of victims come forward to the police. Read the Ombuds letter to @MinJusticeEn David Lametti on the need for Canadian legislation to recognize coercive control as an offence: https://t.co/CdRlF9ylgh

[Carmen Gill @ProfCarmenGill]

This is an issue that needs to be addressed. https://t.co/y3XghIalBu

[Carmen Gill @ProfCarmenGill]

Great research from my colleague.

[David C. Hofmann @DavidCHofmann]

Looking to interview community activists in the Maritimes and Quebec about right-wing extremism as part of a research project. If you are interested in speaking to me, please send a DM. Happy to send along more info and answer any questions!

[Federal Ombudsperson for Victims of Crime (Office) @OFOVC]

How do we understand coercive control in the context of intimate partner violence? How do we address this issue through the criminal justice system? Read about it in our research corner here:
