The purpose of this site

The sole purpose of this site is to Lobby for Women's Rights, and  address women's
issues that impede a women's full potential for personal growth, fulfilment and
empowerment. It is the intention of
Fina Bella, to peacefully, but never the less
strongly, lobby injustices. We trust, you will take the time to join with us in these
endeavours. So please, help us to help you

       Site Dedication
                  “Je Me Souviens/I Remember”

This site is dedicated to the memory of all women, children and men throughout the
world who have lost their lives because of Domestic Violence, or have been injured
and still carry the scars. To those whom are now living in a violent intimate
relationship and because of circumstance, are yet unable to find a way out, we are
thinking of you and hope to give you the inspiration and tools to move out and
safely move on with your life.  

We also vividly remember that infamous day on
December 6th 1989 when in
less than 20 minutes,
14 young women were brutally killed, and another 10 women
& 4 men were injured in the
École Polytechnique Massacre that took place
in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Because of the actions of just one deranged individual,
now we will never know what these intelligent  women could have achieved in their
lives and ultimately would have contributed to humanity. You are lost to us, but
not forgotten. Your untimely deaths have brought sadness to many, but you have
not died in vain, because you have helped inspire others to do better and try to find
a way............

As the 20th anniversary approaches, sadly, and with
disappointment, Government and criminal justice officials have
yet to release to the families of the victims, nor to the public,
information to explain the
why ?

         How Fina Bella is going to make change happen:

            The Fina Bella Coalition Against Domestic Violence

“The Fina Bella Coalition Against Domestic Violence is a free membership  that was formed to specifically lend it's
voice and moral support toward helping women/men, children and families become healthy, whole, happy and
abuse free productive individuals. The coalition equally assists both the abused and the abuser through The
Fina
Bella
Corporate Domestic Violence Program which has been made available to companies (in conjunction with
external partners) to do their part in ridding the world of Domestic Violence”.

This nonjudgmental coalition, is made up of women/men, companies/partners, web sites and others who reject the
issue of Domestic Violence. By joining The
Fina Bella Coalition Against Domestic Violence, members add their voice
and moral support  behind  
The Fina Bella Corporate Domestic Violence Program to educate the public and
provide a program to help eliminate Domestic Violence.

We encourage those who are in an abusive intimate relationship (abused & abuser) to come forward and contact
their designated Human Resource person in their company and avail themselves of  The
Fina Bella Corporate
Domestic Violence Program. For companies that do not have this program, please contact us directly through this  
web site at
richard@finabella.net to further discuss this free program.

While The
Fina Bella Coalition is nonjudgmental on an individual level, we irrevocably & collectively agree that
Domestic Violence is inexcusable and unacceptable in our society today. Therefore, we support the coalition in it's
efforts to help eliminate this issue through therapy and healing of the individual(s).

The coalition encourages companies, external partners and others to participate in this proactive program. The
group will actively network on behalf of the companies/partners to help promote a positive image in the market
place and to inform the general public of the good work these organizations are doing.
