A Conversation on Feminism, Ableism, and Medical Assistance in Dying
This article explores the recent expansion of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) in Canada and its negative implications for women with disabilities. In 2021, the government extended MAiD to people with disabilities who are not dying, which the authors contend is a modern form of eugenics. Structured as a conversation and deploying a systemic, equality-based feminist analysis, the article tracks the shifts in scope and justification for MAiD thro…
Intimate Partner Violence and Covid-19 in Rural, Remote, and Northern Canada
In rural, remote, and northern parts of Canada, the pre-existing vulnerability and risk for intimate partner violence has been exacerbated by COVID-19. The purpose of this commentary is to identify the unique impact of COVID-19 on intimate partner violence both in terms of the bearing on those experiencing abuse and on the service sector in rural, remote and northern communities where the rates of intimate partner violence and intimate partner fe…
Does 'No, Not without a Condom' Mean 'Yes, Even Without a Condom'
Breaking the Silence on Father-Daughter Sexual Abuse of Adolescent Girls
De toutes les étapes de leur vie, les femmes sont plus souvent la cible de violences sexuelles à l’adolescence. La plupart du temps, les filles font l’objet de violences sexuelles aux mains d’hommes qu’elles connaissent et en qui elles ont confiance dans leurs propres familles et pourtant, ce type d’agression a largement échappé à l’attention du mouvement #Moiaussi. Dans le présent article, les autrices désirent relancer la discussion sur les agr…
The “Statutory Rape” Myth
Dans le présent article, les auteures passent en revue trois ans de jurisprudence canadienne impliquant des infractions de nature sexuelle contre des adolescentes âgées de douze à dix-sept ans. Elles tentent d’établir quels types de cas se rendent au tribunal, qu’ils donnent lieu à des condamnations ou non, et quels types de peine sont imposés aux individus condamnés pour ces infractions. Dans la grande majorité des cas examinés, les hommes étaie…

A Situational Approach to Incapacity and Mental Disability in Sexual Assault Law
Longitudinal Relationship of Low Leisure Satisfaction but not Depressive Symptoms With Systemic Low-Grade Inflammation in Dementia Caregivers
Lower satisfaction with leisure activities is related to higher low-grade systemic inflammation. This knowledge may provide a promising way of improving cardiovascular health in dementia caregivers through behavioral activation treatments targeting low leisure satisfaction
More Than an Empty Gesture
Dans le présent article, les auteures se servent de la récente décision de la Cour suprême du Canada dans l'arrêt R. c DAI pour examiner la question de la compétence des femmes ayant une incapacité mentale à témoigner dans des causes d'agression sexuelle. Les auteures appuient la décision majoritaire de la Cour, mais elles remettent en question certains motifs, notamment le fait qu'on assimile les femmes avec une incapacité mentale à des enfants.…
The Over-Criminalization of Persons With Hiv
This article argues that the Court has over criminalized HIV nondisclosure through treating all cases where there is a realistic possibility of transmission as aggravated sexual assault regardless of whether transmission of the virus takes place. It argues that there is no other context in which a remote possibility of a harm, where that harm is not realized, constitutes our most serious form of sexual assault and suggests that this over-criminal…

The author argues that Bill C-72, which limits the defence of extreme intoxication, is constitutional because of its strong underpinnings in equality. The author reviews the statistics on violence against women and the role of intoxication in that violence to illustrate why the defence of intoxication raises issues of sex equality. The author…
