Dear Everyone,

 I am 100% opposed to violence against women in the home, on the streets and ESPECIALLY in our workplaces.  Bullying in the workplace is violence and is associated with sexual harassment.  

Both men and women abuse women in the workplace just as both men and women stand by and do nothing to help THOSE who are TARGETS of bullies.  Understanding this societal malignancy known as wilful blindness is key to helping to end violence against women.  The brightest lights in an organization are chosen as targets of bullies. People who are bullied in the office often suffer from PTSD.

To quote Madeleine Albright first female US Secretary of State appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1996,

"There is a special place in hell for women who don't help other women."

WOMEN NEED TO SUPPORT OTHER WOMEN  AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS THE VIOLENCE STOPS.

MY PROJECT "WALK IN MY SHOES' SEEKS TO RAISE FUNDS TO SEND SEX WORKERS TO THE SUPREME COURT OF CANADA WITH THEIR LAWYER KATRINA PACEY OF PIVOT LEGAL SOCIETY TO CHANGE THE LAWS SURROUNDING PROSTITUTION TO MAKE WORK SAFER FOR SEX WORKERS.  

Help Me Send Sex Workers to Supreme Court of Canada to changes laws that make it unsafe for women.

The Cycle Of Abuse  The cycle of abuse can leave you feeling crazy.  The abuser’s behavior can swing quickly from sweet and seemingly kind to angry and hurtful.  It is typical to feel as though you are “walking on eggshells.” Some women have said that he seemed to be like Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde.  In time you may realize that the sweet behavior is actually manipulation.  His purpose is to control you.  His gifts and kindness always have strings attached.  He is quickly angry if you refuse his “gifts.”  The cycle may not necessarily follow the pattern of “honeymoon”, “tension” and “explosion.”  He may jump between the three phases.  He may stay in “honeymoon” for a few minutes or a few weeks before the “tension” or “explosion” hit.  The pattern generally deteriorates over time; he spends more and more time in the “tension” and “explosion” phases, and only gives enough “honeymoon” to keep you hopeful in the relationship.

Part of my healing journey was to help others by the creation of this Video with David Berner to discuss Office Bully, Sexual Harassment, Amanda Todd, Sexism and Misogynism.

"It's almost like a Hitchcock Movie and it is crazy making."  David Berner.

"The World is a Dangerous Place not because of those who do evil but because of those who look on and do nothing."  Albert Einstein.

What to do when you are the target of a workplace bully.  Ask the bully to stop. If he/she does not stop, then:

1. Document and report abuse to your employer. (Always use the term sick as opposed to stressed)

2. See your doctor and a counsellor and follow your doctor's advice.

3. File a complaint with the BC Human Rights Tribunal. 

4. Retain a lawyer who specializes in human rights and employment law.
