Appeal the Decision!

On June 4, the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled that in specific circumstances voluntary intoxication could be a legitimate defense in sexual assault and violent crime cases.

It is already incredibly difficult for survivors of sexual assault to come forward, and to get the justice they deserve for the heinous crimes committed against them, anything that makes it even more difficult for survivors of sexual assault and violent crimes to get that justice is a painful step backward.

    We are strongly calling on the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General to appeal this decision, so a higher court can weigh the impact this decision may have on the lives of women, trans women and sex workers, their bodies, and the justice they deserve after surviving sexual assault or violence.

    Add your name to appeal the decision.
