Day of Remembrance & Action for Violence Against Women

December 6, the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, was established by Parliament in 1991. Observed across the country with vigils, memorials and other ceremonies, the day coincides with the date in 1989 when 14 women were murdered at the Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal. They were killed because they were women.

In our communities, we can all help to end the violence. Check the list below to find an event in your community.
