She Is Your Neighbor: A Short Documentary About Domestic Abuse
My name is Colette Martin. I am the mom of three beautiful grown boys. Despite my journey with PTSD, I am passionate about helping others. I've built a community within a short time to raise awareness and educate others on intimate partner violence, MMIW. Bill 17 was passed in the New Brunswick legislature in my honour in Dec, 2022. I did not allow my trauma to be my ending: I turned my pain into passion and power so that others do not suffer the same long recovery journey I endured. In July of 2023 I was part of a short documentary filmed in Waterloo Ontario, called, "She Is Your Neighbour: A Short Documentary." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ElhK-qOENQ

Ending Assaults Against Women

Violence Against Women- Split Second Project
Women and children are at risk worldwide from domestic violence, femicide, and assault from men and Intimate Partners. A very short PSA on keeping women safe from sexual assault. According to the Elizabeth Fry Society of Kelowna, on average a woman is abused or assaulted eight times before she reports the abuse! It is also estimated a high majority of sexual assaults are NEVER reported, for fear of the assailant, or for the trauma being relived in reporting the crime and possible recurring trauma during a trial. Sexual assaults are a worldwide epidemic and affect men, women, girls, teens, and even children. They are avoidable and preventable and we must do all we can to stop this! See our short video.

First Born! The History of Indigenous People
This short video shows the history of how Indigenous people were removed from their land, put into non-traditional homes, and often not allowed to return to their own land. They now pass on those stories from one generation to another. Remember, we are ALL immigrants unless we were born Indigenous. This native issues video recognizes the fact we are all immigrants, unless we or our ancestors, were born here!
