UPEI to recognize the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women
The National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women was established in 1991 by the Canadian Parliament in response to the murder of 14 women at the École Polytechnique in Montreal on December 6, 1989. Twelve of the women were engineering students.
