Yesterday, on #Dec6, we gathered to listen to the powerful words from Melanie Kirkland, Jasmine Bhambra, Insp. Raina Siou & our very own @ninukang. On the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, we honour and remember those we have lost to GBV. #EndGBV

Many women my age remember exactly what we were doing 34 yrs ago when we heard the news. We were deeply shaken and comforted each other at an impromptu vigil. We vowed to work together to end gender based violence. Job not finished. ⁦@EndViolenceBC⁩ ⁦@dixonsociety⁩

On #Dec6, with the rest of #Canada, we remember the 14 women's lives lost in 1989. #MontrealMassacre And we remember the 1,000s of women and girls lost since and who we continue to lose, including the 169 women and girls in 2023 so far. #CallItFemicide
