On Rabble, Amber Dean reflects on what the Pickton trial has and has not told us about “what really happened” to the women who were murdered. Writes Dean:I thought I was prepared that day for what I was about to hear, as I was no stranger to the circumstances surrounding the trial. But as I listened to Crown council describe, in the cold, matter-of-fact language of legal-eze, “what really happened” to those six women, I knew that I was not prepared, not at all. And I wondered how knowing this information could make any difference to the injustices the women experienced, injustices which continue to shape the present. Libby Davies also responds to the verdict, calling for reform of legal and social policy, an inquiry into police handling of the case, and fundamental changes to the social backcloth that has sex workers face such terrible risks of violence. Says Davies:Surely the trial of the missing women must compel us to act, to seek answers and make changes that will minimize the risk and harm that sex workers face.
