Keira's Law

Keira's Law

We recently wrote a letter advocating that Bill C-233, which includes Keira’s Law on domestic violence education for judges, be passed into law in the House of Commons. This private member’s bill would expand training for judges to include domestic violence and coercive control. Bill C-233, "Keira's Law," would help to ensure the best interests of the child are central to decision making around custody and access in cases of family law.

Check out our letter advocating for this important bill to be passed, or consider writing your own.
