HARMONY HOUSEOn November 24, 2009, Maria Catroppa, devoted mother of four children, was stabbed to death by her husband in their Surrey home. Although he was recently convicted of second degree murder and sentenced to life imprisonment, some believe that this could only be the isolated act of a madman. At Surrey Women's Centre, however, they know that this isolated act is an everyday occurrence in the lives of women. Women, like Maria, are often most at risk for serious bodily injury and even death when they leave a violent relationship.
