Cost of violence |

By CAROL SABO
Just how large is the Canadian
deficit anyways? $37.9 billion?
$38 billion? $40.2 billion?

How much is that really, in
terms we can understand? $1,500
for cach man, woman and child in
this country? Doesn’t sound like
too much when you put it that
way.

But how many of us could af-
ford to write a cheque to the Bank
of Canada io clear up our share
for our entire family ? Is there an-
other way we could do our part?
The bartering system, an. ex-
change of goods, perhaps
volunteer hours..? How about
common sense and decency?

Statistics Canada has just
released figures from a study of
male violence against women. It
says 29 per cent of Canadian
women who had been or are
mattied have experienced
violence from their current or
previous partaer, That’s 1 in 3,

So what? What does that have
to do with the country’s debt?

Think about the services fe-
quired because of that violence

Think about the services required because of that
violence against women and children.

against women and children.
Transition houses and their staff,
police officers, crisis — line
workers, mental health staff, child
care workers, i¢acher’s aides,
doctors, nurses, lawyers, judges,
court reporters, violence
counselors, employment
counselors, financial assistance
workers, social workers,
cemetery staff.

Whe pays for all those services,
the salaries, offices, cars, desks,
photocopiers, computers, iele-
phone and hydro bills, reams of
paper, etc,, etc? Government, ei-
ther directly or indirectly. And
they pay for it in every day and in
every community in this country!

So doesn’t it make sense to use
a little common sense and
decency. If you know someone
who uses their power to victim-
ize, do something about it.

Tell them violence is not ac-
cepiable — it hurts, physically,

the pockeibook!

Or, call the authorities, they al-
ready know the costs involved —
they7ll respond immediately.
