Today, the TMU community came together to commemorate the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. This solemn day marks the anniversary of the tragic events at L’École Polytechnique in Montreal and reminds us of the urgent need to end violence against women and gender-oppressed individuals. As a university community, we have an important role to play in educating future generations, supporting survivors and challenging the norms that perpetuate gender-based violence; we are committed to fostering a culture of consent, prevention and accountability through these efforts.
