National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women

December 6th is The National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. It’s been over 30 years since 14 women were murdered at a university in Montreal, simply for being Women. Unfortunately, Gender Based Violence is still an issue that is escalating.

We encourage everyone to learn more and take action.

The Signal for Help is a simple one-handed signal someone can use to silently show they need help and want someone to check in with them in a safe way.

Our committee is committed to working on getting this information shared and the poster into public spaces as a community project.
