“14th femicide in Quebec this year — I’m at a loss for words in the face of such vile violence”

Please contact SOS violence conjugale if you are a victim of domestic violence.

Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante has reacted to the 14th femicide in Quebec this year, which happened last night in Parc Extension when a man decapitated his wife, and mother of his child, according to neighbours.

Plante was at a loss for words, and encouraged people being abused to contact SOS violence conjugale — a bilingual, free and anonymous service that helps individuals in situations of domestic violence — before it is too late.

14 femicides this year. Another last night. I send my deepest sympathies to the relatives of the victim. I’m at a loss for words in the face of such vile violence. If you are being abused, don’t wait. Contact SOS violence conjugale
