This march was to honour the lives of missing and
murdered women from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. The deaths of many
vulnerable women from the Downtown Eastside continues to leave family,
friends, loved ones, and community members with an overwhelming sense of
grief and loss.

The February 14th Women’s Memorial March is an opportunity
for the community and those that support us to come together to grieve the
loss of our beloved sisters and remember the women who are still missing.
We gather each year to mourn and remember our sisters by listening to
their family members, by taking over the streets, and through spiritual
ceremonies.

This event is organized and led by women because women, especially
Indigenous women, face physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual violence
on a daily basis.

    hi there! Just wondering if you can help with promoting the 2nd 8,000 Drums to be held in the DTES? It’s going to be held March 21, 2009 at 2:00 pm.

    Thanks!
