This year, with Dec. 6 memorials happening virtually, women won’t be able to lean on other women for in-person support.

“I want to have hope,” Sharlene Tygesen, the executive director of a women’s shelter in Toronto, says. “I’m pissed and I’m tired.” thestar.com/news/gta/2020/…
“I don’t ever want us to forget that happened (at École Polytechnique in Montreal), but we haven’t come very far,” Sharlene Tygesen says. thestar.com/news/gta/2020/…

On Dec. 6th, 1989, a man murdered 14 women at Ecole Polytechnique,a Montréal engineering school. Remember the #MontrealMassacre. Femicide - the murder of women for being women - hasn’t been eradicated in Canada/globally. I made this in April 🎥 @rerutled
What fucking world is this:
- where men still beat and kill us even during a pandemic
- how long must we wait until men stop beating and murdering us, even under #COVID19 lockdown?
Domestic abuse kills and hurts millions.

Where is the vaccine against THAT global epidemic? Where is the vaccine against patriarchy?
