Take the time to read this list of accomplishments by First Nations, Inuit or Métis women as a starting point in your journey to celebrate their work and honour their resilience: bit.ly/3OsY3ZK #NIHM2023
'Intimate partner violence against women is consistently ignored in child custody proceedings, due to a lack of understanding by state authorities about the harm children experience as indirect & direct victims of violence against women.' @WAVE_europe wave-network.org/wave-statement…
"One way Canadians can support Indigenous peoples this Indigenous history and Pride Month is by prioritizing Indigenous representation and truly listening to Two-Spirit voices." tinyurl.com/apaweeax
"With summer solstice came a celebration of Indigenous culture Wednesday as National Indigenous Peoples Day was marked by ceremonies and performances across Manitoba." tinyurl.com/2p5u8z7b
"The women advocated for it, they testified during it and today, in 2023, there are dozens of like-minded advocacy groups — matriarchal powerhouses made up of grandmothers, mothers, aunties and daughters — who continue to demand accountability." tinyurl.com/e5kmnsv7
We. Need. To. Believe. Survivors. "Victims, experts say courts often fail to recognize and protect people from non-physical forms of abuse." tinyurl.com/yc4jdcwh
On June 28, @ResolveUm is hosting a free webinar on "Family Law, Family Violence and Restorative Justice." Panelists include Lisa Teryl, a seasoned senior lawyer, and Tod Augusta Scott, a renowned advocate in family violence and trauma. Register here: tinyurl.com/48buttrr
#CallItFemicide: "Two female tourists from the U.S. were hiking [...] when they encountered a 30-year-old American man [...] He allegedly lured them onto a trail leading to a viewpoint, & attempted to SA one of them before pushing her off a cliff." cbc.ca/news/canada/ki…
BOOK RECOMMENDATION "A Two-Spirit Journey: The Autobiography of a Lesbian Ojibwa-Cree Elder," a memoir by Ma-Nee Chacaby. Because it is both Indigenous History Month and Pride Month, we are highlighting some books by queer Indigenous authors.
'The judge ruled that the children be taken [to their father] involuntarily by police if they resisted, & they were taken, even after trying to set their house on fire in protest. This led to a huge decline in the children’s health, safety & well-being.' msmagazine.com/2023/06/20/cat…

There are many reasons we ask you to #CallItFemicide. To #CallItFemicide underscores sex/gender specific nature of killings. When we call it domestic homicide, it obscures fact women disproportionately victims of such killings. Why obscure facts unless you wish to do so.
