Right now at NBCC in St. Andrews, life-size silhouettes -- representing women who were murdered in New Brunswick at the hands of their intimate partners -- are set up on display.
The Charlotte County Abuse Prevention Network bringing The Silent Witness Project for the public to view today until 6:30pm.
Organizer Carol Lynn Gamblin tells Tide News it's important these women are remembered and honored. She says, "...we have been robbed of these women, of their potential, of their love, of their humour, of their warmth, of their presence. They are gone, they will not be forgotton, we will not allow that to happen."
Gamblin says we need to continue to work on awareness and education when it comes to domestic or family vilence. She adds, "We hope at some point that this will be in the history books. We hope that one day, this (domestic abuse) will be behind us."
Kelly Kurtz-Johnson with the Network says a new silhouette of Karen Buchanan-Frost from Charlotte County -- who died in 2007 -- will be added in the Spring.
She says they are currently looking for friends, family, and co-workers of Karen who would like to participate in her dedication ceremony and help with creating her shield.
