From Juarez, Mexico to the west and east coasts of Canada, Indigenous girls and women are at far higher risk to be kidnapped, sexually abused or raped, and murdered.
This conference intends to highlight the consistent and alarming rise of missing Indigenous women within the context of postcolonial and third wave feminist theoretical locations.
As such, speakers will address issues that are common to Indigenous women living in colonized countries, specifically patterns of violence, the impact of residential schools, issues of sexuality and sexual health, poverty, the lack of access to education, and to seek the decolonization of politics, education, the legal system, media, gender, religion and the spirit.
Academics, community activists, Elders, members of religious communities and family members will examine such issues for two reasons: to understand the intersections of racism, sexism and colonization, which allow the silence and invisibility surrounding missing and murdered Indigenous women, and to create a networking atmosphere in which actions and resolutions might be envisioned
As part of the conference’s mandate, we wish to facilitate meetings between family members of women who have disappeared from Mexico and Canada. We are also engaged with groups throughout Canada, the United States and Mexico who are actively seeking justice about this issue.
As concerned individuals, it is an obligation to understand the reasons behind this atrocity of violence, to resist this injustice, and find resolutions for change, so that we may have hope for our future and the future of all girls and women.
