August 14-17th- Regina

Missing Indigenous Women Conference

An International Conference on "Missing Women: Decolonization, Third Wave Feminisms and Indigenous People of Canada and Mexico" will be held August 14-17, 2008 in Regina, Saskatchewan.

From the northern border city of Juárez, Chihuahua to the west and east coasts of Canada, Indigenous girls and women are at far higher risk of being kidnapped, sexually abused, raped and murdered. This international conference examines the consistent and alarming rise of missing Indigenous women in Canada and Mexico. While the conference provides a forum to examine this violence, it also maps a path to justice.
