“Our fear is that someone is going to die.” · The executive director of a Newfoundland’s women shelter says they have been inundated with demand this year. · They’ve been forced to turn away some women and children seeking refuge from violent situations. · “We are full all the time ... I don't want to use the term a 'banner year' but it's a banner year for trauma and turnaways," said Michelle Greene. · "The biggest fear is that someone is going to lose their life, either at the hands of their partner because they've chosen to go back — and I say 'chosen' with quotation marks, they've been forced to go back — or that someone is going to die sleeping in their car," she said. · · · If you are facing intimate partner violence, and are in immediate danger, call 911.
