Three years ago today Patty Forman was shot and killed when on her way to work by her ex-fiancée. It is not mental health. It is violence against women It’s premeditated and well-thought out. Calling it mental health takes away opportunities for men and boys to engage in discussion around toxic masculinity. Calling it mental health keeps the focus on the individual as the problem, rather than highlight the societal problems that allow men and boys to be abusive and violent with their partners. Calling it mental health prevents CBSA from creating appropriate training, screening and resources for future employees around healthy relationships and bystander intervention programs. Calling it mental health denies the victim appropriate supports and resources to keep her safe and alive. Calling it mental health allows for the continued widespread systemic idea that violence against women isn’t really a problem. In 2022, 184 women and girls were killed in Canada at the hands of male violence. It is more than a shame when those in positions of power, like the premier and the media, chose not to use Patty’s life as an opportunity to raise public awareness, challenge social norms and call for changes to policies. Patty was afraid. Patty knew. Patty asked for help. How come that alone can’t seem to be enough for a woman to be safe? Rest in sweet peace Patty. You will never be forgotten. If you or someone you know, needs someone to talk to, you can call the Transition House at 250 627 8588. CBC article can be found by googling CBC Patty Forman
