Iqalummiut call for an end to violence against women

Around 25 people march from Iqaluit’s Igluvut Building down Queen Elizabeth Way for the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women and Girls on Monday evening. The march was organized by Qulliit Nunavut Status of Women Council, with partnerships with Pauktuutit Inuit Women of Canada and the Law Society of Nunavut. From the Igluvut Building, the march went to Nunatta Sunakkutaangit Museum, where there were speakers and a performance by the Inuksuk Drum Dancers. Monday was the 30th anniversary of the Polytechnique Montréal shooting, in which 14 young women were murdered. (Photo by David Lochead)
