tolerated says the director of a york region womens shelter its a very very good step forward its an indication theyre taking the issue more seriously said yellow brick house director filomena williams theres always going to be the man who has no respect for the law or women the law will not stop the killing but if society says it is going to enforce the conse quences- then a few men will think twice about abusing their partner j the domestic violence protection act passed by the provincial government before the christmas break replaces restraining orders with tougher interventiph orders 1 the legislation prohibits contacts between abusers and victims and provides additional ways to keep victims safe 1 one of the weaknesses of restraining orders said williams is they are timecon suming to obtain through fami ly court and arent much of a deterrent violation ofa restraining order is a provincial offence and violators are most often fined or have to serve up to six months injail unlike restraining orders intervention orders will be enforceable under the criminal code and abusers will face tougher terms and conditions for detention arid release it took something like the montreal massacre to make canadians realize this affects our children and abuse is serious iriterverition orders will be- easier to obtain since judges or justices of the peace wiu be available to issue the orders 24 hours a day seven days a week previously judges and jus tices were available only during business hours the intervention orders will hold more clout but only if they are enforced williams said if the restraining orders were broken offenders would go back to court get a slap on the hand and be told dont do it again she said if they break the interven- tion orders it will be taken sen- ously because crirhinal action is involved williams agrees with critics who say the provincial govern ment has been slow to respond to the need for improved domestic violence legislation mostly because womens issues are hot uppermost explained williams whose organization houses 450 women at the shelter in aurora and runs an outreach service for up to 650 women in thornhill v governmentsacknowledge theres violence against women they always promise to do something but dont always deliver it took something like the montreal massacre to make canadians realize this affects our children and abuse is serf- ous- one drawback to trie legisla- tion said williams is that it falls short in addressing abusers need for treatment for their harmful behaviour i have notreceivedthe bill but i do hope it enforces help for abusers she said to throw them in jail with out treating them will not solve the problem because theyll become more angry than before vehicle just got easier
