National Action Plan infographic: Improving justice for all women

By Luke's Place | August 17, 2021
Roadmap for the National Action Plan on Violence Against Women and Gender-based Violence

Luke’s Place participated in the development of the National Action Plan on Violence Against Women and Gender-based Violence, co-chairing the pillar that focused on legal systems and justice.

Promotion of Responsive Legal and Justice Systems: Why should we make legal and justice systems more inclusive, responsive, and equitable? So that those experiences of justice are the same for every survivors of GBV no matter who or where they are. Legal and justice systems must consider the lived realities of survivors and protect them from further harm.
We recommend 34 immediate, short, medium, and long-term policy actions for federal, provincial/territorial, and municipal governments that will improve: protections and outcomes for survivors; government accountability on human rights, racial bias, and violence in the workplace; resourcing for legal advice and representation
This roadmap covers such critical areas as: education for legal/justice actors, human rights law, sentencing and incarceration, family law, legal representation, labour, immigration, community-based responses/supports, systems accountability
Legal and justice structures play such a crucial role in setting precedents, impacting other systems, and influencing societal norms and state agendas that creating a Canada free of gender based violence through the NAP means transforming these systems so they better serve survivors while negatively sanctioning violence more effectively, consistently.
