Today we honour the women who were murdered at École Polytechnique in 1989. We also honour all women who are killed due to relationship violence. It is estimated that nearly 6 in 10 homicides involving a woman or girl is perpetrated by an intimate partner or family member. 🕊️

May we remember that they gave their tomorrows so we could have our today.

Lest we forget. 🕊️
