Domestic violence survivor from Nanaimo finding a way to help others

  • A short documentary released on May 18 on CBC features a Nanaimo woman’s experience with domestic violence and her charity work.
  • This story stems from Sarah Sherman’s November 8, 2004 attack by her ex-husband, who assaulted her despite a restraining order.
  • After the attack, Sherman underwent a forensic exam and relinquished her clothing as evidence but was given nothing to wear afterwards at the hospital.
  • Sherman now leads We're Here for You Canada, an organization that distributes comfort kits containing clothing and personal care items to individuals affected by sexual violence and abuse within relationships.
  • The documentary and advocates highlight the widespread lack of hospital resources to provide clothing to women who give up clothing as evidence, a need that remains poorly known.
