A movement to denounce conjugal violence organized by actress and author Ingrid Falaise along with several organizations for victims of conjugal violence led thousands of demonstrators throughout the province to march and to speak out in their local communities.
In Montreal, thousands marched from Lafontaine Park to Jeanne Mance Park, stopping along the way to give way to speakers to say a few words to the general public and to encourage marchers.
Many demonstrators sported white ribbons symbolizing the support of women. Others had signs with slogans such as âWe wonât be silencedâ, âSHE matters!â and âInvest in womanâs shelters, now!â.
