SUMMARY:Recommendations\, innovations\, and law reform to address the intimate partner violence epidemic
DESCRIPTION:The Law Commission of Ontario (LCO) invites you to a free one-hour webinar addressing intimate partner violence and law reform in Ontario. This is the first of two LCO webinars during Access to Justice Week 2023. \nTitled ‘Recommendations\, innovations\, and law reform to address the intimate partner violence epidemic\,‘ the session will consider reforms to Ontario’s justice system to improve legal protections and services for survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV). The topic is a long-standing and urgent access to justice issue in Ontario and across Canada. \nThe inadequacy of the justice system’s response to IPV and other gender-based violence has been criticized for many years\, culminating earlier this year in calls for provincial and federal governments to declare and address the IPV epidemic. Recent inquests\, inquiries\, and legislative efforts following mass casualties and femicides have highlighted the need for – and complexity of – justice system reforms. \nThe session will bring together experts to discuss potential IPV reforms\, legal issues\, practical challenges\, and best practices. Audience members will learn about: \n\nThe scope and scale of IPV;\nThe legal needs and access to justice challenges for survivors of IPV;\nThe strengths and weaknesses of current laws and practices;\nRecommendations from recent inquests and inquiries (the Culleton\, Kuzyk\, and Warmerdam Inquest in Renfrew County\, Ontario\, and the Mass Casualty Commission in Nova Scotia); and\nPotential reforms to Ontario’s protection order regime.\n\nThis session will be interesting to many stakeholders\, including individuals and organizations concerned with IPV and gender-based violence; family justice; criminal justice; access to justice for low-income\, racialized\, and rural/remote communities; courts; and justice policy-makers. \nEvent details: \nDate/Time: Monday\, October 23\, 2023\, 5:00-6:00 pm EST (Toronto) \nPrice: Free \nWhere: Virtual (registration is required) \nRegistration: Eventbrite \nRegister Here \nFor related inquiries or more information about LCO projects\, please contact Noor at lawcommission@lco-cdo.org.
