The fact that judges who should be experts on laws need to be taught law concerning sexual assault goes to show us that the justice system is failing women and does not see violence against women as a serious violation of rights.   That we can't trust our judges to uphold our human and charter rights make me think that we need better judges, not more laws about judges.  As Ambrose points out, women are discouraged from coming forward and that is because we know that the system, including the police, the courts, the judges, isn't working for us,  Until we see a system change that holds men accountable for the violence they commit, then we will will keep trying to educate after the fact instead of doing what is right from the start.
