Join us for a powerful, raw and forward-looking conversation about missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls in Canada. Did you know that an Indigenous woman in Canada is more than three times likely to experience violence than a non-Indigenous woman? Our panel discussion, moderated by award-winning journalist Brandi Morin, will talk about lived experience and ways we can all confront and end violence and inequality waged against Indigenous women and girls.

This speakers’ panel is part of YWCA Edmonton's 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. This international campaign runs annually from November 25, International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, to December 10, World Human Rights Day; it is design to raise awareness of gender-based violence as a human rights issue and to strengthen local work around violence in our own communities.

Moderator: Brandi Morin

Panelists: Josie Nepinak, Nahanni Fontaine, Stephanie Harpe
