Remember Our Sisters

The number of Aboriginal women in Canada who are missing or have been murdered is unknown. Preliminary research undertaken by NWAC and Amnesty International indicates a large number. In order to gain a better understanding of circumstances, root causes and trends, the Sisters in Spirit initiative will be undertaking qualitative (life histories) and quantitative research on racialized, sexualized violence against Aboriginal women. Research activities will be carried out with cooperating families who have female family members that are missing or murdered. We are doing so with the support of participating families in memory of our missing and murdered Sisters in Spirit. -That NWAC complied during before the 2004-2011 campaign.
