Vancouver Public Library

10am- 6pm
View the brochure for this year's December 6th Event.
Canada has designated this day to mark the massacre of young women engineering students at L’ecole Polytechnique and the published antifeminist intentions of the killer Marc Lepine to kill these women and others for their role in feminism. See Women, Violence and the Montreal Massacre for more information.
Annually Vancouver Rape Relief responds to this historical attack by renewing our commitment to educating the public about the conditions of women and publicly organizing with women and men of conscience against those conditions. Films, lectures, roundtables and interactive displays will fill the library concourse and downstairs meeting rooms.
A Feminist Dinner Party
by invitation
The fourth element is a feminist dinner party uniting participants with other women of influence. In the spirit of Wack! Art and the Feminist Revolution women will celebrate the achievements of artists and other activists and connect the current feminist initiative to end all forms of violence including prostitution and trafficking.
