SUMMARY:National Day of Awareness and Action on Violence Against Women
DESCRIPTION:National Day of Awareness and Action on Violence Against Women\
 nIt has been over 30 years since the murder of 14 young women at Polytechn
 ique Montréal (December 6\, 1989). This act of violent misogyny shook our
  country and led Parliament to designate December 6 as The National Day of
  Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.\n\nOn December 6\, we r
 emember:\n\n 	Geneviève Bergeron\n 	Hélène Colgan\n 	Nathalie Croteau\n
  	Barbara Daigneault\n 	Anne-Marie Edward\n 	Maud Haviernick\n 	Maryse Lag
 anière\n 	Maryse Leclair\n 	Anne-Marie Lemay\n 	Sonia Pelletier\n 	Michè
 le Richard\n 	Annie St-Arneault\n 	Annie Turcotte\n 	Barbara Klucznik-Wida
 jewicz\n\nAs we mourn their loss and remember their lives\, we reaffirm ou
 r commitment to fight the hatred that led to this tragedy\, and the misogy
 ny that still exists today. In Canada and around the world\, women\, girls
  and 2SLGBTQI+ individuals face unacceptable violence and discrimination. 
 Gender-based violence in Canada has been magnified and amplified by the CO
 VID-19 pandemic. There have been reports from police services\, shelters\,
  and local organization of an increase in calls related to gender-based vi
 olence across Canada during the pandemic.\n\nThe National Day of Remembran
 ce and Action on Violence Against Women is about remembering those who hav
 e experienced gender-based violence and those who we have lost to it. It i
 s also a time to take action. Achieving a Canada free from gender-based vi
 olence requires everyone living in this country to educate themselves and 
 their families and communities on gender-based violence\, centre the voice
 s of survivors in our actions and speak up against harmful behaviours.
