International Women’s Rights Day
On the occasion of International Women’s Rights Day, we organized a moment of reflection and discussion around issues of equity, diversity, and inclusion.
In collaboration with the Vice-Dean for Research and Development, the event featured a screening of the documentary Plus jamais silencieuses, directed by Caroline Pierret Pirson. The film gives voice to women and explores how speaking out can emerge from silence, becoming a space for resistance and transformation.
This screening also served as a reminder that issues related to women’s rights, equality, and violence against women remain a deeply pressing reality. Since the beginning of 2026, seven femicides have already been recorded in Quebec. Behind these numbers are lives, families, and stories that have been abruptly cut short.
A moment of silence was observed in their memory, highlighting the importance of acknowledging these realities and continuing our collective efforts to build a more just and inclusive society.
The screening concluded with a discussion with the filmmaker, a multidisciplinary artist trained at La Cambre (Brussels), whose work explores themes of interiority, memory, and feminism.
We warmly thank all those who attended for their participation in this important event.
