“The Polytechnique massacre deeply marked Montreal and serves as a reminder of what unchecked misogyny can lead to.”

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.

Gender-based violence starts with minimizing misogyny | @mtltoula.bsky.social

Gender-based violence is an everyday reality, and it starts with minimizing misogyny

As we highlight 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence and the upcoming anniversary of the Montreal massacre, can we take a moment to reflect on all the different forms this violence takes?

Violence against women and girls in the online space is a growing problem. As politicians and activists we have to be vigilant against forces which seek to silence women. Whether it’s digital abuse or the physical threat that it can quickly turn into, there is no excuse.
