A few Bay St. George women who lost their lives to intimate partner violence were honoured at a ceremony in the capital city yesterday. The Purple Ribbon Campaign marks the beginning of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. This year’s ceremony included memorial banners of women and girls from this province whose lives were tragically taken. They include Ann Marie Lucas of Stephenville Crossing, Elizabeth O’Quinn of St. George’s and Judy Benoit of Port au Port. Samantha Walsh of Fleur de Lys was also remembered. Premier Tony Wakeham says “Gender-based violence is not only a personal tragedy for survivors and families, it is a profound social issue that reaches into every community and demands not just our awareness, but our action, our accountability, and our support.”
