Historic news from the Supreme Court of Canada.

We know IPV is more than just physical, it’s often about a pattern of coercive control.

In a 6-3 decision (Ahluwalia v. Ahluwalia), the Court has officially recognized a new legal basis for civil claims: the **Tort of Intimate Partner Violence.**

What does this mean?
Before this ruling, survivors seeking justice in civil court often had to fit their experiences into “old” boxes like assault or battery.

The Impact:
⚖️ Recognizes that IPV is a unique harm to dignity, autonomy, and equality.

⚖️ Allows survivors to sue for damages specifically related to the pattern of abuse and control they endured.

⚖️ Validates that “coercive control” is a legal wrong that deserves compensation.

This is a massive step forward in holding abusers accountable and providing survivors with a clearer path to financial independence and justice.

As Justice Nicholas Kasirer stated: “The existing torts fail to remedy the specific wrong to dignity, autonomy and equality that intimate partner violence creates”.

That gap is finally being closed.

Justice is just the beginning!

Searching for work while healing from trauma or managing instability is a different kind of job search.

Our Job Search & Career pillar supports women rebuilding resumes, restarting careers, and stepping into new opportunities after unfair work practices or time away from the workforce.

Think the odds have always been stacked against you, your mental health, your housing, your job, parenting, or even putting food on the table? 

You’re not imagining it.

With Women’s History Month still on our minds, we want to reflect and continue creating a connected community centering today’s work and what’s ahead of us.

We selected 5 women who made their mark in areas that resonate with the 5 pillars of our mission.

1. Mental Health:
Dorothea Dix - The first to demand humane care of people with mental illness.

2. Housing:
Dorothy Mae Richardson - The first to turn neighbors into housing advocates.

3. Job Search/Career:
Frances Perkins- The first woman to reshape work at the federal level.

4. Parenthood:
Wilma Rudolph - A mother who ran past every limit placed on her.

5. Food & Wellness:
Vandana Shiva - Leading the fight for Seed Sovereignty.

At Women Above Power, we believe your story belongs in the same continuum.

Today we honor mothers, caregivers, and mother-figures of every kind.

At Women Above Power, we know motherhood can be beautiful, exhausting, joyful, and heavy all at once, especially for women navigating trauma, job loss, housing instability, or single parenthood.

This Mother’s Day, we celebrate your strength and the love you pour out while also naming your need for support, rest, and community.

Every movement begins with a moment.

But behind every moment…is a person who chose to see differently.

We’re honored to introduce Sincera Mitchell, founder of Erase The Silence, a not-for-profit committed to bringing visibility to the invisible emotional labour carried by women every single day.

What started from an inexplicable loss became a powerful mission: to prevent 1 billion women from suffering the same pain.

Through Erase The Silence, is helping to amplify voices, create space for honest conversations, and build a future where emotional labour is recognized as real impactful work.

This is why Women Above Power is proud to be in partnership with Erase The Silence.

Our missions align in one important way:
Supporting women not just in survival, but in being seen, heard, and fully valued.

Change doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens when voices are amplified and action is taken.

Learn more at erasethesilence.com and stay tuned for a special feature as part of our upcoming Men’s Series, where Sincera will share his perspective, his journey, and what this work truly means.
