The National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women

Today marks the annual National day of Remembrance for Violence Against Women, a day wherein we remember those women who have been killed and abused.  The day of remembrance also includes the École Polytechnique Massacre, a day wherein fourteen women were specifically targeted and murdered because they were women.  Please offer a moment of silence today in honor of all women who have suffered at the hands of abusive men.
