All of these women were murdered on December 6, 1989 at Polytechnique Montreal for being women in an engineering program.
Seem like a long time ago? Here are some stats to remind us of why anti-sexist and misogyny is important in today’s world:
Approximately every SIX days, a woman in Canada is killed by her intimate partner. These stats have worsened under the COVID-19 pandemic. Crisis housing organizations, police, and shelters have noticed this obvious increase.
According to a recent Statistics Canada survey about COVID-19, 1 in 10 women is very or extremely concerned about the possibility of violence in their home.
Make a pledge today to commit to nonviolence and work toward creating a non-violent, safe space for all of those who identify as women. This is not a laughing matter.
