DESCRIPTION:Every six days a woman in Canada is killed by an intimate partn
 er. Too often\, such deaths have been tied to inaction or inappropriate ac
 tion on the part of the criminal justice authorities. Women are left to pr
 otect themselves and their children. When an abused woman protects herself
  against threat and danger which are in no way her own making\, she should
  be able to avail herself of criminal law defences. Abused women should no
 t be criminally convicted when they act to protect themselves and their ch
 ildren from lethal intimate partner violence.  Kim Pate is a lawyer and te
 acher by training and has completed post graduate work in the area of fore
 nsic mental health and was awarded an honourary doctorate by the Universit
 y of Ottawa. Kim is the Executive Director of the Canadian Association of 
 Elizabeth Fry Societies (CAEFS) and a part-time professor at the Universit

 lized and institutionalized women and girls throughout Canada. Kim has als
