We need to stop treating compliance as evidence that everything must be fine. A child can walk through the door while frightened. A mother can facilitate contact while deeply concerned. A survivor can follow every direction given to her while believing that those directions are unsafe. Compliance tells you what somebody did. It does not automatically tell you how safe they felt doing it.

This matters particularly in family court, where survivors can face an impossible contradiction: raise concerns repeatedly and risk being characterised as obstructive, hostile or unwilling to promote a relationship, comply despite those concerns and risk that very compliance later being treated as evidence that the concerns cannot have been serious. Safeguarding requires more than asking whether contact happened. It requires professionals to remain curious about how the child is presenting, what they are communicating, what the evidence shows and whether the arrangements are actually safe.

…Get you pregnant,
…Not want the child (abortion scheduled),
…Tell paternal grandparents about pregnancy,
…father then states “now I won’t be scared to ask my parents for money”…

The mask falls,
Maternal abuse,
Control,
Gaslight,
Playing the victim,

This is EXACTLY how the abuse happens. And the perpetrator will show everyone the reaction of the abuse, and never the abuse done that led to a reaction such as this. People don’t see the abuse behind closed doors doors, the belittling comments and the victim curled in a ball in tears while the perpetrator sits on the end of the bed with a grin on his face.

To raise funds and awareness for women experiencing violence. 💜

On Sept. 19, Mandy Dhillon will set out from Chilliwack around midnight and walk 100 kilometres to Vancouver in just 24 hours. Her route will take her through Abbotsford, Mission, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Coquitlam and Burnaby before reaching Vancouver.

Dhillon says the cause is deeply personal and hopes to raise $55,000 for SARA for Women, which supports women in the Fraser Valley. The journey will conclude Sept. 20 with a community walk in Vancouver, with VPD/Purple Light Nights helping plan the Vancouver portion.

Violence against women and girls is a human rights violation that has persisted for decades. It is pervasive, but not inevitable.

Each of us can do our part by speaking out and supporting survivors, helping to break the cycle of abuse and protect women and girls everywhere.
