- I commit to taking my daughter to the MMIWG2S Annual Memorial March in the Downtown Eastside (DTES) next February 14, 2022.
- I commit to taking photos of missing posters for Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirited people whenever I see them. Here is my first one of these posters. I hope this might inspire you to take photos. Maybe, if we all do this, we can hold space for these Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirited people. Maybe we can help bring them home or give their families closure.
- I also made a donation to an organization supporting women on the DTES.
Facts:
- Indigenous women are more worried about domestic violence than they are about most COVID-19 issues.
- Indigenous women most vulnerable to violence in the past three months are in the North, under 35, and have been financially impacted by COVID-19.
- Romantic partners are overwhelmingly seen as the biggest source of violence.
- The financial impact of COVID19 is strongly correlated to violence against Indigenous women.
- Indigenous women and 2SLGTBQQIA people face life-threatening, gender-based violence, and disproportionally experience violent crimes because of genocide based on sexism and racism.
