Grass-root organizers and advocates speak on ending violence against indigenous women and girls. Teach-in hosted by Haymarket Books. RVSP here.

“In the United States, more than 4 in 5 Indigenous women have experienced violence, and more than 1 in 2 have experienced sexual violence. On some US reservations, Indigenous women are murdered at ten times the national rate. In Canada, Indigenous women are six times more likely to be murdered than non-Indigenous women and girls.

In How We Go Home: Voices from Indigenous North America, a new book from Haymarket and Voice of Witness, narrator Gladys Radek shares her own story of becoming an advocate for the countless missing and murdered First Nations women in Canada. In this roundtable conversation, Gladys will be joined by the book’s editor, Sara Sinclair, and other advocates based in the US and Canada to discuss the grassroots efforts currently led by Indigenous communities to find justice, truth, and healing for Indigenous women and their families.”
