16 years ago today a man walked into a Montreal university and killed 14 women and injured 13, he then turned the gun on himself.

Please take a moment today and think of those women and all women who are subject to violence everyday.

I haven't gone and read the article. I can't. I've been there (of course not to the point of death but I know a lot of women who have been in the situation other than myself. I still meet them in my life now too.

I think about women who are in this situation almost everyday as it is.

Thank you Heaven for posting this. Often violence against women is kept quiet. It sure needs to be and is being brought more out into the open.

It's always the first item of news on this day. What a horrible day that was!
