Today, we remember Sir Patrick Stewart, who passed away at the age of 86.
Known to millions for his iconic roles in Star Trek and X-Men, Stewart also used his voice to advocate for survivors of domestic violence.
Having witnessed his father abuse his mother during his childhood, Stewart spoke openly about the lasting impact of domestic violence and the importance of breaking the silence surrounding abuse. As an ambassador for Refuge, he dedicated his platform to raising awareness and standing alongside survivors.
His advocacy was a powerful reminder that domestic violence affects entire families and that speaking out can help create change.
We are grateful for his compassion, courage and commitment to ending domestic violence. His impact will continue far beyond the screen.
