On the Women’s Memorial March

28 years ago indigenous women in the Downtown Eastside marched for the first time to bring attention to the debilitating number of women and girls missing and murdered in their community. Twenty-eight years later, the RCMP indicates that there are 1,200 cases of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls across Canada. Many believe the numbers to be much higher. Communities across the country are still marching, still demanding action, and accountability. There is not one indigenous community in Canada that has not been touched by systemic racism and sexism that allow indigenous women and girls to be stolen from their loved ones, and I might add, indigenous men like Colten Boushie to be killed without repercussions. My heart is with the families and allies who are marching, once again, for justice. We need to honour the memories of the women and girls by demanding concrete action and justice, not just today but every single day.
