Women from Manitoulin Island and the North Shore corridor will be taking part in a virtual International Women’s Day presentation.
Up to 80 participants will be taking in the advice of keynote speaker, author and women’s advocate, Julie Lalonde.
Lalonde is an internationally recognized women’s rights advocate and public educator.
She holds a BA and MA in Canadian Studies and Women’s Studies from Carleton University and will be focusing on healing from intimate partner violence.
The seminar also includes a presentation by Susie Harrison of Bare Naked Beauty with a skin care tutorial.
The annual event is usually held on the Island and in Espanola in person, but due to COVID-19 the Mnidoo Mnising Coalition Against Domestic Violence, based in the local area, is hosting the celebration of women virtually.
In the instances where domestic violence victims are too afraid to report abuse, activists are calling on the Government to make law external party reports on domestic violence, which would give the police the right to intervene to save a life.
The call comes in the wake of the country’s fourth domestic violence-related killing for 2021, in which 53-year-old Karen Rauseo was allegedly beaten to death by a close male relative on Tuesday. Her death came after numerous reports to the police by family members about abuse they said Rauseo endured repeatedly. But it was also reported that Rauseo had never made any police reports nor applied for any protection order because she was too afraid.

In the not-so-distant past, domestic violence or intimate partner violence was not openly discussed in the community or workplace. That a loved one would harm their intimate partner in a coercive, deliberate and violent manner was a difficult truth that many would prefer to minimize or deny. Spousal and intimate “disputes” were considered private matters, and even trained professionals experienced many challenges in developing safe interventions for victims who were trapped by abusive partners.
We now understand the prevalence of domestic violence globally and, sadly, here in Hawaiʻi. We now know that while domestic violence can affect anyone, there are certain populations that are even more vulnerable including indigenous populations, gender minorities, and the disabled particularly when these identities intersect.
