Let's chat about public speaking. Next to death, it's what people fear the most. I admit, each time I step up to the podium, I get a bit nervous. I was asked to give a presentation for the Halton Women's shelter who were celebrating international women's day with their own event.
The event was terrific. There were aboriginal drummers, singers, guest speakers and we all focused on celebration, achievement, and empowerment.
Now for the sadness. Last year the 2 shelters housed 800 women and 1000 children. It runs at capacity constantly. Adult family violence crosses all economic, social, and religious boundaries a and is often the dreaded silent secret.
People "don't want to interfere"and so it often remains a silent violence. Except for the effect on the children.
Abuse is all about power and control- not love.
