A key thing I speak about when facilitating workshops on sexual violence is the importance of challenging myths about victims. Many of us hold contradictory assumptions of what survivors should be - cry, be meek, fight back, fearful, strong. There is no perfect victim.
One of the five male jurors from the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial spoke exclusively to GMA about the reasoning for their verdict:
“All of us were very uncomfortable. She would answer one question and she would be crying and two seconds later she would turn ice cold.”

In Canada, abortion is already decriminalized, meaning that no criminal law tells us how and when abortion can be offered. In fact, the SCC, in multiple decisions, has consistently ruled that such restrictions on abortion violate the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Abortion is not a legal right. Justin Trudeau refuses to establish this in either statute or as an amendment to the Charter.
