Arizona's Voice

Arizona's Voice Against Childhood Sexual Abuse...



Arizona is of course the alias name used by the young woman I wrote about in my "I'm a Survivor"  post. I have yet to meet this brave young lady but I know that will happen pretty soon. Please go like her Facebook page Arizona's Voice Against Childhood Sexual Abuse

The petition created by Arizona's group is now circulating. *For Alberta residents only.

This petition is requesting the Legislative Assembly to pass legislation that will expedite all cases of crimes against children;
  • Automatically trigger an outside investigation, independent of Alberta Justice, where cases are stayed due to institutional or Crown delays, in order to determine the causes of such delays as well as solutions to ensure such delays do not happen again
  • Grant victims over 18 the right to waive media bans on their name if they choose to speak publicly about their victimization
  • Publish the number of Crown Stay of Proceedings and Withdrawals annually with an updated action plan from the Attorney General detailing how this problem is being addressed
  • And ensure the government allocates adequate resources to ensure the Crown Prosecutor’s office is able to effectively manage all prosecutions against violent offenders, especially those charged with sexual and other violent crimes against children
For more information on how you can help or to sign this petition email arizonasvoice2012@gmail.com or facebook Arizona's Voice.

Or let me know if you would like a copy for your workplace or family. Thank you for your support!
