In Quebec, crime victims' first line of defence - the local police - are virtually deaf when a woman tries to file a complaint - especially if the victim goes to a Montreal Police station without a man to support her. I have witnessed this first hand on more than one occasion - in my own case, and as an advocate for others in Montreal.
The police usually manage to find an excuse not to take the report and when they do, the case is declared "closed" within a few days or weeks or it just disappears altogether.
Women attempting to report abuse or crime are treated like troublesome children. The desk officer will be polite, but the message is clear that your claim is unworthy and you are just there to get attention.
The Internet is the great equalizer. Rich or poor, each of us who has access to the Internet has the power to shake those stone walls that shut us out and deny us protection, due process and justice. At this writing, more than 104,000 people around the world have read my blog reports. The eyes of the world are on Montreal, Quebec.
