今天上班,在大門口遇到兩位社區積極分子在發放「白絲帶」。含義是:全國反「爭對婦女暴力」的紀念與行動日。

December 6 is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. This day marks the anniversary of the 1989 murders of 14 young women at l'École Polytechnique de Montréal. On this day we remember and mourn the loss of these 14 women. As well, we remember and mourn the women in Canada who have suffered violence. And we resolve to take action to end violence against women. Parliament proclaimed December 6 as a national day of remembrance in 1991.
Violence against women continues to be a serious issue in Canada.
