总理贾斯汀·特鲁多今天在全国纪念和打击暴力侵害妇女行为日发表以下声明：

“在这个国家纪念日和打击暴力侵害妇女行为全国行动日，我们缅怀在蒙特利尔理工学院被无情谋杀的 14 名年轻女性和另外 13 名受伤的女性。今天，我们向她们的生命致敬，她们的生命仅仅因为她们是女性而悲惨地被缩短，我们重申我们致力于消除基于性别的暴力。

“当我们缅怀这一可恨、懦弱行为的受害者时，我们也被提醒，对于加拿大和世界各地的许多妇女、女孩和性别多元化的人来说，导致这场悲剧的暴力厌女症仍然存在。原住民妇女和女童、少数族裔妇女、生活在农村和偏远地区的妇女、2SLGBTQI+ 社区的人们以及残疾妇女遭受暴力的风险甚至更高。这就是为什么我们已经并将继续加强我们的法律并确保为基于性别的暴力的受害者和幸存者提供支持。

“通过基于性别的暴力战略，我们正在为受害者、幸存者及其家人提供重要的基于社区和创伤知情的支持。去年，我们发起了“这不仅仅是”运动，帮助年轻人认识、提高认识并结束性别暴力。

“我们还与加拿大各省和地区合作，实施《结束性别暴力国家行动计划》– 制定了一个框架，使加拿大免受性别暴力的影响，并为受害者、幸存者及其家人提供支持。我们已经宣布与马尼托巴省、萨斯喀彻温省、爱德华王子岛、努纳武特地区、育空地区、艾伯塔省、西北地区、安大略省、魁北克省和新不伦瑞克省签署双边协议，确保全国各地都能随时获得支持。要结束持续不断的原住民妇女、女童和 2SLGBTQI+ 人群失踪和被谋杀的悲剧，还有更多工作要做。我们将继续与原住民家庭、幸存者、领导人和合作伙伴以及各省和地区合作，实施失踪和被谋杀的原住民妇女、女孩和 2SLGBTQQIA+ 人民国家行动计划和联邦途径，使我们的社区更安全。

“我们还在采取变革性行动，加强枪支管制措施，并解决枪支在家庭暴力和性别暴力中令人震惊的作用。我们禁止使用 1,500 多种突击型枪支及其变种，其中包括巴黎综合理工学院使用的武器。我们实施了全国性手枪冻结，限制手枪的销售、购买和转让，并且通过 C-21 法案，我们可以实施加拿大历史上一些最强有力的措施，以解决枪支暴力问题并确保我们社区的安全。

“在我们纪念反对性别暴力 16 天行动之际，我鼓励加拿大人向理工学院大屠杀的受害者和幸存者致敬。您可以佩戴白丝带，参加社区守夜活动，或在上午 11:00 默哀片刻，我们可以而且必须共同努力结束基于性别的暴力，建设一个更安全、更具包容性的未来，让每个人能够充分发挥他们的潜力。”

Statement by the Prime Minister on the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement on the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women:

“On this National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women, we remember the 14 young women who were senselessly murdered and the 13 others who were injured at the École Polytechnique de Montréal. Today, we pay tribute to their lives that were tragically cut short simply because they were women, and we reaffirm our commitment to eliminate gender-based violence.

“As we remember the victims of this hateful, cowardly act, we are also reminded that, for many women, girls, and gender-diverse people in Canada and around the world, the violent misogyny that led to this tragedy still exists. The risk of violence is even higher for Indigenous women and girls, racialized women, women living in rural and remote areas, people in 2SLGBTQI+ communities, and women with disabilities. That is why we have and continue to strengthen our laws and ensure supports for victims and survivors of gender-based violence.

“Through the Gender-Based Violence Strategy, we are delivering crucial community-based and trauma-informed support for victims, survivors, and their families. Last year, we launched the It’s Not Just campaign to help young people recognize, build awareness of, and end gender-based violence.

“We are also working with provinces and territories across Canada to implement the National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence– which sets a framework to have a Canada free of gender-based violence, with supports for victims, survivors, and their families. We have already announced bilateral agreements with Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Prince Edward Island, Nunavut, the Yukon, Alberta, the Northwest Territories, Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick – ensuring supports are readily available and accessible across the country. There is also more work to do to put an end to the ongoing tragedy of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQI+ people. We will continue to work in partnership with Indigenous families, Survivors, leaders, and partners, as well as with provinces and territories, to implement the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ People National Action Plan and the Federal Pathway to make our communities safer.

“We are also taking transformative action to strengthen gun control measures and address the alarming role of firearms in domestic and gender-based violence. We banned over 1,500 models of assault-style firearms and their variants, including the weapon used at the École Polytechnique. We implemented a national handgun freeze, restricting the sale, purchase, and transfer of handguns, and through Bill C-21, we can implement some of the strongest measures in Canadian history to tackle gun violence and keep our communities safe.

“As we mark the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence, I encourage Canadians to honour the victims and survivors of the École Polytechnique massacre. You can wear a white ribbon, attend a vigil in your community, or observe a moment of silence at 11:00 a.m. Together, we can and must put an end to gender-based violence and build a safer, more inclusive future, where everyone can reach their full potential.”
