For Every Woman Raped In Every War

The banner is composed of black fabric with white letters sewn on with white thread. The banner For Every Woman Raped in Every War has been produced by the Political Action Committee of the Women’s Centre of Ottawa and used with the poem of the same name in an action on November 11, 1979, at the War Memorial on Wellington Street, Ottawa. The banner has been sewn at the Ottawa Women’s Centre.

Women organize Women Strike

The banner is composed of white fabric with black inscriptions. In a black circle is mentioned "Women Organize Women Strike" with the Women's Collective symbol, a cross with a fist in a circle at the top. On the right side it says " FEMINIST ACTION COLLECTIVE".
« Inspirées par la grève nationale des femmes en Islande, nous avons commencé à organiser une grève des femmes, écrit et distribué des tracts sur le harcèlement sexuel, le travail des femmes, les femmes et les nouvelles technologies. Nous avons également appuyé la ville en ce qui concerne le Ottawa Tenants' Council's Tent City et fourni un soutien aux femmes syndiquées en grève de la compagnie d'assurances de l'Union du Canada (OPEIU 225) et de la British American Banknote Company. » (Traduction de la lettre de Wendy McPeake du 31 mai 2016).
