Honour based violence (HBV) is not defined in Canadian jurisprudence, except to the extent that it is often conflated with domestic violence. Understanding how to navigate matters involving HBV is important for today’s family and criminal law practitioners.

This webinar will explore topics including:

Mainstream constructions of HBV (and how they produce both false positives and false negatives)
Practical solutions for clients who may be targets of HBV or involved in HBV matters
Strategies for educating social service providers on HBV
Western examples of HBV
