Wilson and Marg Ilayter. Anne McBride who is on the Board of Directors tor the new Huron County Transition Home, was the guest speaker at the February meeting of Varna United Church Women. A Dungannon couple who provided shelter for children who had to be remov- ed from their homes found they were also getting bat- tered women who had nowhere to go, so they ap- proached others of their Men- nonite faith to form a group to look into the need for such a home. It is not a church - 'sponsored group, and there are two non -Mennonites on the Board. They contacted Family and Children's Ser- vices and the police, and found that 25 to 30 women could have used such a home. It is believed that at least one in ten women is beaten at some time, one-third of these so badly they require medical treatment. The cause is often not known, but these women have low self-esteem and usually blame themselves, although in over 70 percent of the. incidents there was no argument preceding the beating. They are usually afraid to ask for help, as peo- ple often don't believe them, and it is embarrassirig. Twen- ty percent of alt murders are committed by a husband or wife. Battered women need somewhere to go immediate- ly. they need help to find a place to live, a job, and a lawyer if necessary. They have access to counselling through Family and Children's Services, and there is reconciliation where possi- ble. It is hoped eventually to have a counselling centre for men. The Board is now looking at a home in Goderich township which they can rent, and have a request in with the Men- nonite Central Committee for two' mature volunteer counsellors who will stay at (east two years. Volunteer assistance is needed for them, as the home must be open at all times. Help is also needed with gardening, cleaning, fur- nishings, and of course, miiney. At present there is no government funding. They are hoping to open the home in April. It is hoped that church ivomen will help these women and give them support when they come back into the community. Eleanor McAsh thanked . Anne and presented her with an honorarium. Eleanor McAsh and Joan Beierling planned the meeting and led in worship.
