On November 5 2014, the federal Minister of Citizenship and Immigration tabled the Bill S-7, or the “Zero Tolerance for Barbaric Cultural Practices Act”. If this highly inflammatory and xenophobic bill is passed, it will deepen institutional barriers to immigrant and racialized women reporting violence and will prevent them from accessing support and services.
