Group encourages city to ‘rise up’ against violence
The recent deaths of a 64-year-old woman in Prince Albert and of a mother and her three children in Tisdale are among the events that have prompted a local group to take action.
Rise Up-Prince Albert is organizing a week full of activities aimed at creating awareness about violence against women.
Organizer Conrad Burns said a lot of people don’t realize the damage a violent relationship can cause.
“Sometimes people self-medicate, sometimes they self-harm, they deal with it in different ways and so if we educate people and they can understand why, there will be less ignorance out there,” said Burns.
