Who is leading the movement to end violence against Indigenous women in Canada? These sisters are doing it for themselves. We will move ahead on violence against aboriginal women with or without the federal government,” says Sylvia Maracle, executive director of the Ontario Federation of Indigenous Friendship Centres. The Canadian government has ignored calls for an inquiry into high rates of missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada, but Maracle and other Indigenous leaders wont let government inaction stop them. They are building a new campaign to fund grassroots preventative anti-violence efforts and increase public knowledge on the root causes of high rates of missing and murdered Indigenous women.
