Sisters in Spirit Vigils – Remembering Missing Aboriginal Women – October 4th, 2014

 

The RCMP has reported close to 1,200 cases of missing or murdered Aboriginal women and girls between 1980 and 2012. That same report highlighted the fact that this number is disproportionately high, showing how Aboriginal women and girls make up over 16% of female homicides, 11% of missing women and yet make up only 4% of the female population in Canada.

Every October 4th, Sisters In Spirit Vigils:

Missing Aboringal Women Oct 2014

Honour the lives of missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls;

Support grieving families and provide opportunities for healing; and,

Is a movement for social change.
