Jessica Martel Memorial Foundation

Until all homes are safe... The most tragic aspect of Jessica’s death is that she had a plan to leave her abusive relationship, but had nowhere safe to go.

The Jessica Martel Memorial Foundation (JMMF) was established on January 15, 2012, in response to the tragic death of Jessica Martel, a 26 year old woman who was murdered by her husband in front of their children in Morinville, Alberta. In efforts to prevent such tragedy and to provide support to women and their families in similar situations, the Jessica Martel Memorial Foundation aims to serve victims of domestic violence in Morinville, Sturgeon County and surrounding areas. Although tragedy was the driving force behind the creation of the JMMF, it was established as a result of a perceived need for a safe house within the community. Further exploration has validated this need and has provided additional drive for achieving JMMF's goal of establishing a safe house.

Misogyny is not harmless.

This CTV News article looks at the manosphere, men’s mental health and violence against women.

We need to take seriously what boys and men are being told online about women and relationships. Preventing violence includes challenging these messages and talking about respect, consent and asking for help.
