Guest speaker talks about wife abuse
Living as Christians in a violent
society was the theme for the Fall
Rally of the Maitland Presbyterial
in the Teeswater Presbyterian
Church on Sept. 22.
Karen Lowe from Women's
House of Bruce County was the
guest speaker talking about wife
abuse. It is not a new problem but
there is more known about the
violence that is so widespread.
Wife assault happens to many
women, of all income and
education levels from all social
classes, religious and ethnic groups.
People can help by supporting
these women and giving them more
information of the opportunities
available, Lowe said. Pamphlets
can be placed in doctors' and
lawyers' offices. As well,
volunteers are always needed at the
home in Kincardine. Eileen
Chambers of Ripley thanked the
speaker.
