Preventing Domestic Violence and the Silent Witness Project

The Silent Witness initiative provides us with a strong reminder of the importance of preventing intimate partner violence. Too many women have died in Manitoba at the hands of their partner.

Friday morning in the Legislature, we heard heart-rending stories from close relatives of women who had been murdered. The Silent Witness figures (top left photo), each with the name of a murdered woman stand as ongoing reminders of each one.

Students from Grant Park Collegiate choir and dance group particpated in the ceremony.
