ÛiLiÀÊÃÊ7>ÊLÕÃiÊ*ÀiÛiÌÊ Ì \Ê,iëiVÌvÕÊ VÌÃÊ >Ê->ÛiÊ>Ê7>ÊÀÊLÕÃi November is Woman Abuse Prevention Month – a month to focus on pre- venting violence against women. Think it’s none of your business? Well, most Ontarians feel a personal responsibility to stop woman abuse. In fact, as individuals, and as a community, we have a responsibility to prevent fam- ily violence. However, the first step is to recognize important warning signs. Does he put her down? ... check up on her all the time? … try to keep her away from friends and family? Often it’s up to us. Neighbours, friends, and co-workers must play a key role to end violence against women. It is not an easy thing to do – but, may mean the difference between life and death. If you are concerned about someone you know, speak to her privately. Tell her you are worried and want to help. Tell her that you believe her – and that it is not her fault. Emphasize that violence is never appropriate or deserved or something that “just happened”. Ask her what she needs. Sometimes just talking about it - bringing the issue into the light of day - will help a woman feel less isolated and alone. That can go a long way to breaking down the barriers of embarrassment, secrecy, and shame. Help her get the assistance and resources she may require. Taking steps to prevent woman abuse is everyone’s business.
