Ten years of advocacy have yielded little more than systemic failure:
-
9 rejected provincial bills and 2 failed Senate bills.
-
While Law / Bar Societies offer abysmal "recommendations," the human cost continues to mount.
-
Despite numerous Supreme Court decisions acknowledging the profound harm caused by forced silence, our legal system remains stagnant.
-
We are witnessing countless suicides by silenced victims and repeated offenses by predators protected by the very system meant to serve justice.
-
Currently, there is zero accountability in law; instead, we see lawyers profiting by drafting contracts that shield pedophiles while silencing their victims for life (and beyond).
THANK YOU !
The Honourable Hedy Fry remains the first and only elected official in Canada to support legislation that prevents the use of Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) to silence survivors of childhood abuse. These agreements are used to prioritize the anonymity of predators over the rights of victims to speak their truth.
There is still hope without support from our elected officials or Lawyers
The Federal Ombudsperson for Victims of Crime (FOVOC) has recognized the systemic misuse of Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). A key development in Bill C-16 now clarifies that signing an NDA does not relinquish a victim’s right to pursue criminal avenues. Furthermore, the FOVOC has launched an anonymous survey to dismantle the barbaric practice of using these agreements to suppress truth about childhood abuse.
The FOVOC’s mandate remains unachievable as long as vital data is concealed behind thousands of NDAs across Canada.
The Rule of Law has been effectively compromised by legal practices that prioritize lucrative fees for protecting child predators over the safety of society. This is not merely a governance issue; it is a profound abuse of power by the legal profession in Canada.
We must act now to hold these systems accountable.
TIME IS UP
