On December 4 – 6th, 2009, Kelly Watt, Linda Macdonald and Jeanne Sarson of Persons Against Ritual Abuse-Torture were invited to attend the 20th anniversary commemoration of the December 6, 1989 Montreal Massacre at the École Polytechnique de Montréal. This multi-disciplinary conference brought together scholars and researchers, social and community workers and volunteers, and feminist activists to assess collectively how this tragedy had been understood in Quebec and other parts of the globe, reflect on the collective memory of the event & discuss issues of violence against women and feminists.

Kelly presented with Linda MacDonald and Jeanne Sarson, at the conference held at UQAM, Université du Quebec  Montreal. Their talk was titled: The Torture of Women in Canada: Sexualized and Discriminated into Invisibility. While in Montreal, Kelly was interviewed (in French no less!) by Michelle Briand and Annick Dorkstrader of the Montreal feminist radio program: L’ELLES des femmes.
