B16 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, November 30, 1994 White ribbon campaign remembers violence By KARLA HENNIG Terrace Women’s Resource Centre DECEMBER 1989 - a man walks into a Montreal class- room, separates the women from the men, and shoots 14 women, Canada gocs into shock and the media asks “how is this possible??? Many people feel this is an isolated incident, the work of a mad man. Think again. May 1989 - A man consumes a great deal of alcohol, drags a disabled woman from her wheel-chair and rapes her. A supreme court decision in No- vember 1994 declares that the man is not responsible for his aclions as he was so drunk he could not form ‘“‘criminal in- tent’’. The media asks “how is this possible??’ Legal experts tell us that this case will not be used as a precedent for lower courts. November 1994 - an Alberta court, using the Supreme Court’s rationale, excuses a man from brutally beating his wife, saying he was too drunk to form ‘‘criminal intent.” Women ask ‘‘how is this pos- sible?’’ December 1994 - a Quebec court, again using the Supreme Court’s rationale, excuses a man from brutally beating and raping his wife, saying he was too stoned on-cocaine to form “criminal intent.”’ The public asks ‘‘how is this possible?”’ ia Canada 1994 — two women arc killed ~~ by boyfriends or husbands each weck. B.C. has the highest number of women assault cases in the country. How is this possible? dn Terrace - .Women arc stalked, threatened, and hurt by boyfricnds. and husbands, There is lite they can do to ensure their safety, How is this possible? December 1994 - Women and men across the country will be wearing white ribbons to protest violence against women, They hope that in the fulure women will no longer die violent deaths...at the hands of boyfriends and husbands, How is this possible?
