December 6th Show

On the occasion of the 20^th anniversary of the Montreal Massacre, Frequency Feminisms explored the systemic and interlocking nature of violence against womyn, focusing on state sponsored violence, violence in the school system, in the media, in the law and prison system and the ways in which violence is often internalized and considered "normal". As we grappled with this multi-facited issue, our discussion focused on local and global issues (from a kindergarten classroom to womyn living in the Congo and the mostly indigenous womyn employed in the sex trade in BC).

We also heard from Cindy Blackstock, Executive Director of the Family and Child Caring Society of Canada about their human rights case against the Government of Canada for years of underfunding of first-nations children in the child welfare system.
