New Fund to Tackle Intimate Partner Violence in Memory of Cape Breton Woman

Logan Alexandra Russell, a 32-year-old dance teacher from North Sydney, was tragically killed in November, with her partner charged with second-degree murder. In her memory, the Elizabeth Fry Society is launching a fund to address gender-based violence, emphasizing education on abuse signs and legal navigation. Her nephew, Isaac Currie, highlights the importance of discussing gender-based violence as an epidemic and advocates for preventive measures. Both Currie and Emma Halpern of the society stress the need for deeper societal changes to combat the root causes of violence against women.
