From Global News–Advocates say a new bill before the Manitoba legislature could have a big impact on the relationship survivors of domestic violence have with the court system.

The bill, which may not pass before the Nov. 7 end of the legislature session, would require continuing education for new provincial court judges on topics like intimate partner violence, sexual assault, systemic racism and other topics.

Coral Kendel, executive director at Survivor’s Hope Crisis Centre, told Global Winnipeg any type of further education on the subject is key to making meaningful change.
