It is unacceptable to me that hatred against women, is not covered by Canada's Criminal Code. Why is that? Why is it a crime to spread propaganda about people on the basis of their colour, race, religion, ethnic origin or sexual orientation, but not sex or gender (see article 318.4)?
The Criminal Code would be a very useful tool for women's organizations dealing with online hate - but it cannot be used... Le code criminel canadien pourrait constituer un levier pour l'égalité pour les femmes, mais tel quel actuellement, les femmes et les groupes de femmes n'ont aucun recours légal.
À quand une campagne pan-canadienne pour faire modifier le Code criminel et inclure le sexe comme motif de crime ?
