December 6 is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada.
Established in 1991 by the Parliament of Canada, this day marks the
anniversary of the murders in 1989 of 14 young women at l'École
Polytechnique de Montréal. They died because they were women.
It is also an opportunity to consider the women and girls for whom violence is a daily reality, and to remember those who have died as a result of gender-based violence. And finally, it is a day on which communities can consider concrete actions to eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls.
