Vancouver Rape Relief stages rally in front of B.C. Legislature to highlight 16 women who were killed by men in B.C. this year
A group rallied in front of the B.C. Legislature Monday to draw attention to the 16 women who were killed by men in British Columbia in 2024.
“We are here to mourn the women and to demand systemic change," said Vancouver Rape Relief’s spokeswoman Hilla Kerner in a release. “Some of these women reported their partners’ threats and violence to police or family court but protection orders do not protect women and restraining orders do not restrain violent men.” said Kerner. “Men who are arrested for committing violence are often charged but immediately released until their trial with conditions that do not prevent them from murdering their women victims.”
