Happy International Women's Day

Remembering Dec 6, 1989
December 6th marks the National Day of Remembrance & Action on Violence Against Women. Today we remember the 14 women who were killed at École Polytechnique on December 6th, 1989, because they were women: Geneviève Bergeron, civil engineering student; Hélène Colgan, mechanical engineering student; Nathalie Croteau, mechanical engineering student; Barbara Daigneault, mechanical engineering student; Anne-Marie Edward, chemical engineering student; Maud Haviernick, materials engineering student; Maryse Laganière, budget clerk in the École Polytechnique's finance department Maryse Leclair, materials engineering student Anne-Marie Lemay, mechanical engineering student; Sonia Pelletier, mechanical engineering student; Michèle Richard, materials engineering student; Annie St-Arneault, mechanical engineering student; Annie Turcotte, materials engineering student; Barbara Klucznik-Widajewicz, nursing student. Last year in Ontario, every 13 days a woman or child was killed by a man known to them, with the majority being their current or former intimate partner. We must take action today and everyday to end all forms of gender-based violence, trans-misogyny. It is only through collective action that the intentional killing of women, gender-diverse people, of Indigenous women, girls and 2-Spirited Peoples, of Black women and women of color, of immigrant and refugee Women, of women experiencing and living with disabilities and deaf women, of those living in poverty, will end. Many #WrappedinCourage flags across Ontario will be flown at half-mast today in recognition of the lives lost to gender based violence. Every life lost is one life too many.
