#NationalDayOfRemembrance
A stone monument in Minto Park, Ottawa covered with snow. Designed by cj fleury it is called ‘Enclave: The Ottawa Women’s Monument’. From wikipedia: The central piece of the monument is a 2-metre-long (6.6 ft) uncut upright granite stone. On its rough surface is a smooth indented double-pointed oval, or yoni, containing engravings. The main engraving consists of the same text in English and French. In English it reads: ‘To honour and to grieve all women abused and murdered by men envision a world without violence where women are respected and free’ Illustrations of a three-swirl symbol (or triskele), the phases of the moon, waves, and female figures also appear on the stone's face. Surrounding this central stone are 37 smaller stones, placed in an open spiral, each engraved with the name of a woman killed by an act of violence perpetrated by a man.
