On December 6, 2014, Unifor recognizes the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. We remember all women who have died as a result of gender-based violence. We remember the 14 women who were singled out and murdered on this day 25 years ago - 14 engineering students murdered solely because they were women: Geneviève Bergeron, Hélène Colgan, Nathalie Croteau, Barbara Daigneault, Anne-Marie Edward, Maud Haviernick, Maryse Laganière, Maryse Leclair, Anne-Marie Lemay, Sonia Pelletier, Michèle Richard, Annie St-Arneault, Annie Turcotte and Barbara Kluc

November 20 is the Transgender Day of Remembrance, a day born out of the need to recognize, mourn and take action on violence against trans people. Unifor stands alongside our trans members and their families as they seek to live with the dignity, safety and freedom that we all need and deserve.
Violence against women isn’t a series of isolated incidents, it’s a systemic issue that is rooted in sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia and other forms of discrimination and oppression. It’s all connected, and we can’t end violence against women without turning our attention to these issues.
