Manage episode 350014488 series 3369219
"It has been over 30 years since the murder of 14 young women at Polytechnique Montréal (December 6, 1989). This act of violent misogyny shook our country and led Parliament to designate December 6 as The (Canadian) National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.
On December 6, we remember:
- Geneviève Bergeron
- Hélène Colgan
- Nathalie Croteau
- Barbara Daigneault
- Anne-Marie Edward
- Maud Haviernick
- Maryse Laganière
- Maryse Leclair
- Anne-Marie Lemay
- Sonia Pelletier
- Michèle Richard
- Annie St-Arneault
- Annie Turcotte
- Barbara Klucznik-Widajewicz"*
And, Fallon's Mother, Sherry Paul (among, unfortunately, many others).
In this episode, you will join the powerful Fallon Farinacci, White Thunder Woman, and I while we discuss Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, judicial systems failures in Indigenous (& marginalized) communities, how/where to start on the Calls to Action, maintaining cultural awareness with our children and more.
