SUMMARY:December 6 National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women
DESCRIPTION:It has been over 30 years since the murder of 14 young women at Polytechnique Montréal (December 6\, 1989). This act of violent misogyny shook our country and led Parliament to designate December 6 as The National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women. \nOn December 6\, we remember: \n\nGeneviève Bergeron\nHélène Colgan\nNathalie Croteau\nBarbara Daigneault\nAnne-Marie Edward\nMaud Haviernick\nMaryse Laganière\nMaryse Leclair\nAnne-Marie Lemay\nSonia Pelletier\nMichèle Richard\nAnnie St-Arneault\nAnnie Turcotte\nBarbara Klucznik-Widajewicz\n\nAs we mourn their loss and honour their memory\, we reaffirm our commitment to fight the hatred that led to this tragedy\, and the misogyny that still exists today. In Canada and around the world\, women\, girls\, LGBTQ2 (lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender\, queer\, two spirit) and gender diverse individuals face unacceptable violence and discrimination. Gender-based violence in Canada has been magnified and amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. There have been reports from police services\, shelters and local organization of an increase in calls related to gender-based violence across Canada during the pandemic. \nThe National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women is about remembering those who have experienced gender-based violence and those who we have lost to it; it is also a time to take action. Working together we can help prevent and address gender-based violence by remembering and learning from our past\, listening to survivors\, and speaking up against harmful behaviour. \nDecember 6 falls within the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence. Add your voice to the conversation between November 25 and December 10 and share the ways you are being part of the solution to end gender-based violence using the hashtag #16Days. \nLinks: \nhttps://women-gender-equality.canada.ca/en/commemorations-celebrations/16-days/national-day-remembrance.html \nhttps://pm.gc.ca/en/news/statements/2020/12/06/statement-prime-minister-national-day-remembrance-and-action-violence
