Violence Against Women
On December 6th 1989, 14 female students who were studying Engineering in Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal were shot by a man named Marc Lepin. Reportedly before he starting his killing he yelled, “I hate feminists!”. It’s afflictive to know that if these 14 women were still alive they would’ve, without a doubt, be successful engineers, maybe even have families of their own. Not only did Marc Lepin murder 14 women but he also injured 10 women and 4 men. When the police arrived outside Marc went on a rampage and started shooting and stabbing most of the women he saw, he then committed suicide.
