Voices of Our Sisters In Spirit: A Research and Policy Report
Printer-friendly versionNative Women's Association of Canada (NWAC) draws attention to Aboriginal women's and girls' experiences of racialized, sexualized violence that leads to their disappearance or murder, and share research findings with those most affected: families and communities.
This report contains the life stories of Aboriginal women and girls as shared with NWAC by their families. Initial demographic and statistical research results and information on NWAC's key and emerging policy areas are included.
NWAC's Sisters In Spirit initiative works to show the media, justice community and society at large that Aboriginal women and girls are loved. Its aim is to ensure that missing and murdered women and girls and their families are treated with dignity and that their cases are assigned the priority they deserve.
