Report from Montreal protest by Hélène Grandbois

Montreal protests electroshock. Not unique 'anti-shock umbrella hats' that had slogans on them against electroshock!


"Today's protest was great. Sunny day and a lot of enthousiasm About 40 people and a lot of flyers given to people coming out of the Metro Station. A petition has been signed. Celine Cyr gave a clear statement on the abuse of electroshock on women, mothers and grand-mothers.

"I also talked about 10 minutes and one of our great feminist activists that worked with women that have been shocked and others gave a good testimony on how some women were damaged by this ultimate violence.

"We shouted slogans and a petition was signed. There were tam-tam. There was also a little choir among the Comité Pare-choc of Action Autonomie that sang songs in french against ECT and violence. A lot of people in the public were shocked to know that shock still exist."

We are MFI
