Violance against women,,, Montreal Massacre

[MaMa G]

Just wanted to take a moment to remember and honor the lives of women every where who have faced death and violance in this world simply because they are female, especially remembering thw women of the Montreal Massacre today, on the 29 th anniversary of that horrendeous day.

Violance , basic human Rights violations, gender genocide, female genital mutilaionn, domestic violence, gender discrimination...all still going on, in the name of culture, religion traditionA very sad sad state of being ...we are family, we only ask for the same human rights and equality that everyone diserves.

WE as female wish to be allowed to be free persons , protected by the same laws of the land as our Brothers...we just wish to BE...

Until we no longer have to ASK for , OR DEMAND equality...in all aspects of life situations, the tears will continue to be shed...and candles will continue to be lit in memory of our fallen SISTERS.

Picture you newborn daughters facing violence of some sort simply because of her gender, and consider if you would speak up and out for her rights and safety...

WE are all someones DAUGHTERS...

Candle light vigils are being held across Canada today...Please consider attending and sharing the light.

Wishing an inclusive world for my daughter, and daughters EVERYWHERE,

Chtistene

I never forget for a second all the things you say. I'm reminded every time I meet someone new. I heard on the CBC this morning that 300 women were killed last year by "partners", whereas there were only around 100 deaths attributable to war or murder.

I'd say there's a war.
