Women Murdered by their Male Partners in Canada
Since the beginning of this year, the collective at Vancouver Rape Relief and Women's Shelter has taken to the streets every time a woman in Canada is killed by her male partner.
In our woman-only, silent vigil we hold signs with the murdered woman's name, age, and date of her death.
We are mourning the women who have been murdered by their husbands.
We are calling all women to join our resistance of men's violence against
women. We are fighting for women's safety, equality & freedom.
