On December 6, 1989, a person entered the School of Engineering at Ecole Polytechnique, University of Montreal.
He went to several classrooms, saying to women, You have no right being here. He separated them from the men.
He then systematically murdered 14 young women. In his suicide letter he wrote:
“…I have decided to send the feminists, who have always ruined my life, to their Maker.”
Taking time to reflect reminds us that our work is not done, that our voices are needed in the ongoing struggle to end violence against women.
We want to thank our STAFF for the work they do every day, to offer hope in so many lives. Together, we make a difference that none of us could make on our own.
