Today marks 22 years since the Montreal Massacre.
It was December 6th, 1989 that Marc Lepine went on a shooting spree at the school. In just under 20 minutes he killed 14 women, injuring 10 more, including four men. He then shot himself, claiming he was fighting feminism.

He had left behind a suicide note that blamed feminists for ruining his life. The note included a list of nineteen Quebec women whom he considered to be feminists and apparently wished to kill.

The World Health Organization lists violence against women as a major public health problem and a violation of human rights. A recent global study found up to 71 per cent of women have reported experiencing physical or sexual violence at some point in their lives.
