Projet Polytechnique
Do you remember where you were on 6 December 1989, when you learned that a gunman had entered the École Polytechnique and killed 14 female students? If you are younger, do you remember how this tragic event was first told to you?
The word "feminicide" made its appearance in the dictionaries in 2019, 30 years after a young man deliberately ended the lives of 14 young women, precisely because they were women. For no other reason.
Are there other words missing from our vocabulary to understand how hatred is born and spread? In this age of algorithms, misinformation and social media, what are the concepts that will help us identify and combat violence?
Comedians and authors Jean-Marc Dalphond and Marie-Joanne Boucher investigate and turn over all the stones to measure the consequences of the feminicide at the Polytechnique.
PROJET POLYTECHNIQUE AND VOX POP
The creators of the Polytechnique Project invite you to share your memories and thoughts about the feminicide of 6 December 1989 at the École Polytechnique de Montréal by answering this question: Should we continue to be interested in the massacre of 6 December 1989, more than 30 years after the events?
With your permission, your testimonies will help to fuel the public debate on violence against women. They may be published on social networks and on the Porte Parole website.
