It has been over 30 years since the horrific murder of 14 young women at Polytechnique Montréal (December 6, 1989).
On The National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, we remember and reaffirm our commitment fight gender-based violence that still exists today.
On December 6, we are hosting an in-person event “Colour of Violence: Race, Gender & Anti-Violence Services,” motivated by the urgency of our moment and the many overlapping crises for all racialized survivors oppressed by gender and race.
On December 6, we launch our report in community and share the voices of over 100 racialized survivors.
