Join me for the upcoming Facebook Live event where I present the rationale for Canada to repeal section 43 of the Criminal Code of Canada, to embed in our legislation the bodily autonomy of children, protected from the use of force as a means of discipline.
63 countries around the world have banned corporal punishment. Canada is NOT one of them.
I believe if we are to prevent Adverse Childhood Experiences and Increase Positive Childhood Experiences, embedding the protection of the bodily autonomy of children in our laws is the least we can do.
Repealing 43 would also achieve the TRC Call to Action #6.
Join the discussion at the link below.
We need to move this legislation across the finish line, finally, after over 30 years of advocacy.
Here's the link. https://fb.me/e/23puwp8V6
If you missed the live event, or would like to slow it down and look at the slides more closely, here's the recording. Recording: ACEs and Violent Discipline
Hope you can join us and the movement.
