National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women
by caarnews on 

December 6

Did you know that 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.

As well as commemorating the 14 young women whose lives ended in an act of gender-based violence that shocked the nation, December 6 represents an opportunity for Canadians to reflect on the phenomenon of violence against women in our society. 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.

December 6, the December 6th Committee of the Moncton and District Labor Council re-commit to taking action on violence against women and girls by organizing a "Candlelight Vigil"Â at the Caseley Park Monument, located at Fr. Dan Bohan Centre (5 Fatima Drive, next to Riverview Town Hall) at 6:30 p.m.

All are invited to attend.

First Mourn; then work for change
