About this listen
Today’s CHASIcast marks the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. On December 6th, 1989, 14 young women were murdered at Polytechnique Montréal by a gunman who targeted them specifically because of their gender. We take this day every year to remember them and to stand firmly and directly against misogyny and gender-based violence of all kinds.
This episode’s guest, Dr. Megan Capp is the Associate Director of Housing and Community Justice at Archway Community Services. She joins us to speak about her work focused on intimate partner violence and the advocacy and allyship that is most needed today.
After today’s interview, Dr. Sylvie Murray reads the names of the women who were murdered in 1989 while pursuing their studies in a male-dominated space.
