Last fall, a woman was sexually assaulted on public transit in Philadelphia. And there was a ton of social media disbelief – how could other passengers just sit there and not do anything? That's why I reached out to Julie Lalonde for my podcast. Julie is a women's rights advocate and public educator, and she's been teaching bystander intervention for over 10 years.In this episode, Julie gives us life-changing tools for how to react when we witness harmful behaviour, whether it's violence, hate crimes, catcalling, or online abuse. Ultimately, her tools are about creating safe communities and once I learned them, it changed the way I saw everything. This episode references sexual assault and gender-based violence.

Social media has opened up opportunities for sharing, networking, self-expression, and collaboration that were previously difficult, if not impossible for many. In plenty of ways, it has pluralized and democratized communication. While social media offers opportunities, it also comes with risks and costs. At times, it becomes an utter wasteland: a haven for harassment and a steward of violence. One way to manage such behaviour online is by holding people to account for their speech and actions. But how should that be done? And by whom? Or, more to the point: What does accountability look like in the era of social media? On this episode of Open to Debate, David Moscrop talks with Julie Lalonde. She is an internationally recognized women's rights advocate, public educator, and the author of Resilience is Futile: The Life and Death of Julie Lalonde.

Description: Julie LaLonde is one of Canada’s best-known women’s rights advocates and experts on sexual violence. But until 2015, she carried a really big secret: that she had been stalked by an ex-boyfriend for a decade. Today, we’re talking with Julie about her memoir, Resilience is Futile: The life and death and life of Julie LaLonde, and why stalking has been mostly left out of the conversations about violence against women.
On the 30th anniversary of the Montreal Massacre at École Polytechnique, we speak with award-winning feminist, educator and public speaker Julie Lalonde about her experiences with stalking, and where we go from here.
Welcome to Episode 11. This episode Jess has read, The Other Side: A Memoir: Lacy M. Johnson. Lacy had been brutally kidnapped and imprisoned at the hands of an ex-boyfriend, this is her story of a dramatic escape and her road to recovery. Mere is covering the Tickle your Pickle topic our listeners voted for, stalking. Julie Lalonde is an internationally recognized women's rights advocate and public educator who was stalked by an ex-boyfriend for 11 years, this is her story. As always the girls munch and crunch on this weeks pickle product, some Damn Good Popcorn - Pickle Flavored. **(WARNING:This story contains details from true events involving sexual assault and domestic violence some listeners may find disturbing.)
In 2015, former Supreme Court justice Marie Deschamps released a major report on sexual misconduct in the Canadian Forces. It described a “hostile sexualized environment” in the military, particularly among recruits and the junior ranks, which included everything from swearing and sexual innuendo to “dubious relationships” between junior female staff and high-ranking men. It also included rape. Has anything changed since the Deschamps report? On the Defence Watch podcast, the Ottawa Citizen's David Pugliese discusses this with women's rights advocate Julie Lalonde and lawyer and retired Col. Michel Drapeau.
By any measurement you wish to use, Feminism and its causes have never been more prominent than they are today. Over the past few years with the utilization of social media, attention on spousal abuse, sexual assault of all kinds, open misogyny, institutional bias, consent, behavioural norms and more have been broken open with the advent of the "hashtag". #WhyIStayed highlighting spousal abuse, #YesAllWomen and #EverydaySexism revealing misogyny, #TimesUp calling for real change now, #ImWithHer expanding to victims and their stories, #MeToo showing the proclivity of the issues and many more have forever changed the discourse around cultural standards. 2015 was a watershed year for Canada and its institutions in the global feminist awakening. The Jian Ghomeshi case. Sexual assault in Parliament. The demented behaviour directed at female politicians such as Catherine McKenna, Kathleen Wynne, Sandra Jansen and Rachel Notley to name a few. The discussion is here and it isn't going away, nor should it. But like all things, the conditions around the issues continue to change for many reasons. Controlling the message has never been more prominent than it is today, by all sides. To amend a famous quote, First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then they CO-OPT you when the tide has completely turned. There is nobody in public life these days that will not declare themselves a feminist. Not doing so is uncool, an invitation to be left outside of advancement with a likely high cost. But declaration is not action. Support is not change. The hypocrisy is becoming more nuanced. Julie Lalonde is an internationally recognized expert educator on violence against women, institutional gender-based bias, womens rights and activism. A winner of the Governor General's Award for her efforts, Julie returns to The View Up Here to discuss the progress, changes and co-option of Feminism in 2018 Canada.
In episode #263 of Talking Radical Radio (March 27, 2018), Scott Neigh interviews Julie Lalonde, a long-time women's rights advocate and public educator whose work focuses on sexual and gendered violence. Two years ago, when a man she had been in a relationship with for a couple of years more than a decade before unexpectedly passed away, she was finally able to reveal that he had been stalking her that entire time. She talks about her work since then to bring stalking into broader conversations about gendered violence, in part through incorporating it more fully into her public education work, and in part through founding a new project specifically focused on stalking called Outside of the Shadows.

There is no denying that sexual assault of any and all types continues to be a cancer upon our societies. Governments of all stripes wax poetic about real change in the way these crimes are investigated, prosecuted and punished. So where is the change? The only number that goes down consistently is the percentage of assaults reported to authorities. Victim support organizations report of ever increasing numbers of survivors and reluctance to trust the police, the courts and our governments to fix this societal issue. The judicial system is supposed to be unbiased and informed on all criminal matters. Former Federal Court judge Robin Camp and Nova Scotia Provincial judge Gregory Lenehan demonstrate this is not necessarily the case. Law enforcement is supposed to respect complainants and deliver proper investigations. Formal complaints against police demonstrate this is not consistently done. Governments claim to want to stop the culture of sexual assault. Male Liberal MPs are accused of harrassment of female NDP MPs, so the internal investigation is confidential. Senator Don Meredith resigns for abusing his position and having sexual relations with a minor. Female politicians walk the walk but scant little progress happens over partisanship aims. Rona Ambrose sat in Privy Council for 9 years, but says now is time to fix things when in opposition and heading out the door. Judges insist they can police themselves. Defense counsel groups insist changes to the Criminal Code are not the answer. Julie Lalonde is an Ottawa-based women's rights advocate and public educator. She works with various organizations dedicated to ending sexual violence, engaging bystanders and building communities of support. Julie has won numerous awards for her work including the Governor-General's Award in Commemoration of the Person Case. The View Up Here welcomes Julie to examine this societal illness.
In episode #25 of Talking Radical Radio (August 14, 2013), feminist Julie Lalonde talks about street harassment and the oranizing being done to oppose it by the group Hollaback! Ottawa. For a more detailed description of this episode, go here: http://talkingradical.ca/2013/08/14/trr-hollaback/
