Montreal - 5th Shoe Pyramide Event

Handicap International - The Shoe Pyramid is a symbol of Handicap International's fight against anti-personnel mines and cluster munitions. Since 1995, citizens from all over Europe have come together to stand side by side with Handicap International to demand the ban of these barbaric arms and to show support for victims.

Much remains to be done today. It is important to continue our fight to make the Treaty enforceable and enforced to obtain the complete eradication of cluster munitions and to change the situation of the victims.

As the public throws more pairs onto the Pyramid, these shoes become a symbol of the devastation, misery, the limb or the life lost by thousands of men, women and children following the explosion of a landmine or ckuster munitions. The immensity of the Pyramid invariably causes one to reflect on the suffering of these victims and their families - and on our responsability to recognize and repair the violence perpetrated against their rights.

Rendez-vous September 24, 2011 at Phillips Square (Downtown Montreal).
