Today we recognize the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Join us in sharing this important message from Women and Gender Equality Canada.

On December 6, 1989, 14 young women were murdered at Polytechnique Montréal because they were women.

Today, we honour their memory and reflect on the continued need to end gender-based violence.

On this National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, we are called to come together and act.

How to honour the victims on December 6:
- Wear a white ribbon
- Observe a moment of silence
- Attend a local vigil
- Share awareness posts

Let’s commit to ending gender-based violence together.
