The contingent of Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary (SNJM) who participated in the 4th edition of the World March of Women, on October 17, 2015, was motivated by doing its part to fight injustice and to witness to its solidarity with all women suffering violence throughout the world.
Doing their part
Returning from their trip to Trois-Rivières, where they were joined by thousands of women and men from all regions of Quebec, the SNJM’s were especially touched by the solidarity which was expressed and the messages delivered in support of the cause of Aboriginal women. “To remain standing we must keep moving is only a small part of what I retained from one of the messages given by the speakers “, related Sr. Denise Riel, Provincial Animator of the Quebec SNJM’s. “20 years after the ‘Bread and Roses March’ we realize that we must never stop. There are many steps to be taken before achieving equality and respect for women’s bodies.”
