Notice biographique

Born in Canada, Fern Martin dedicated 26 years of service at Lanark County Interval House, supporting women and children facing domestic violence and abuse. In 1996, she was honored with the YWCA “Woman of Distinction” award for her relentless efforts to combat violence against women and published her book, “A Narrow Doorway,” the same year. Martin is renowned for her columns addressing sexual violence, abuse, and harassment, including the controversial 1994 Georgie Porgie series. Her writing also shed light on tragic instances of women lost to male violence, raising critical awareness. Alongside her writing, Martin has served as a crisis counsellor at Lanark County Interval House since 1979 and has creatively engaged in activism through collaborations with artists at “Artsfusion” and designing t-shirts for Pakenham Rural Route that celebrate the women’s movement. While retiring from Lanark County Interval House in 2005, she continues to passionately advocate for and support women facing violence.
