À chaque mois, nous abordons un thème différent avec un mot de la direction ainsi que de courtes vignettes portant sur les fonds, les philanthropes et les organismes qui forment la communauté de la FGM en se mettant à l’écoute et au service de la communauté du Grand Montréal.
The Fondation des victimes du 6 décembre contre la violence (December 6th Victims Foundation Against Violence) was created in 1993, a few years after the antifeminist attack at Montréal’s École polytechnique, by victims’ family members and loved ones. Its goal is to support organizations combatting violence in our society, especially violence against women.
In 2005, in order to ensure the continuation of its mission, the Fondation des victimes du 6 décembre contre la violence decided to create a memorial fund at the Foundation of Greater Montréal. The Fund’s assets are protected in perpetuity and will continue to grow, thanks to new donations and investment returns. Its income is distributed annually. The Fund therefore honours the memory of the 14 women who were assassinated on December 6th, 1989, while enabling the Montreal community as a whole to support its mission.
In concrete terms, over the last few years this has translated into financial support for organizations such as La rue des femmes, le Centre des femmes du Plateau Mont-Royal and the Fédération des maisons d’hébergement pour femmes.
Thank you to the Fondation des victimes du 6 décembre contre la violence for its commitment to curb all forms of violence, particularly violence directed towards women.
Never forget them.
