'Stories are a powerful currency, and we owe it to all the women who have died from gender-based violence to share theirs' anne_theriault Broken30YearsLater ViolenceAgainstWomen
*Trigger warning* This article contains references to physical assault and murder that may be triggering to survivors of gender-based violence.
For some reason, it’s imagining the banalities of their unlived lives that gets me—on top of everything, they can’t even have these, the everyday bits of life that I take for granted. They could have just been ordinary women, their names largely unknown outside of their community. Instead, they’re forever frozen in school photographs, eyes fixed on a future that never existed.
There are many good reasons the fourteen victims of the École Polytechnique stay at the centre of our National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, of course; the vigils were born out of their brutal murders, we don’t want their brief lives to have no meaning, and knowing their individual stories help us understand the terrifying toll of misogyny.
