Fight for a Cause: Justice for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women-a panel discussion

510 Indigenous women are missing, and or dead in Canada today. 510.

This evening, I attended a panel of discussion featuring Beverley Jacobs, President of the Native Women's Association of Canada, Ellen Gabriel, President of Quebec Native Women, as well as women from families directly affected by the disappearance or murder of a mother, sister or daughter, including Laurie Odjick, Bridget Tolley, and Sue Martin, from Kitigan Zibi.

The aim of such events is:

To stimulate a broader understanding of and discussion about the reasons behind racialized violence that continues to occur both locally here in Montreal and in the rest of Canada. The general lack of information or proper coverage, as well as an absence of police investigations of missing and murdered First Nations women over the last three decades alone will also be explored as a brutal form of violence in itself, and raised as a cause for concern

SINCE SEPTEMBER, 4 FIRST NATIONS WOMEN HAVE GONE MISSING IN MONTREAL-AMONGST THOSE MISSING IS A 14 YR OLD INUIT GIRL WHO WAS ABDUCTED FROM A SCHOOLYARD IN MONTREAL.
