{UVic Poverty Law Club} Stolen Sisters event at Fraser

Hey all,

I wanted to bring this project to your attention, if you don't know about it. It is running from now until February 5th in the Fraser Building, with discussion and other reflection to follow. Below is the email I was sent
regarding the details.

Cheers
Emmett

I forgot to mention, on Monday, could you please bring in pictures of the
important women in your life...we hope to display pictures of the
"sisters" during the next week to raise awareness about the Stolen
Sister's March and Events

We will display the pictures for a week and then the week we begin the
events we will take down those pictures and replace them with a sign that
the sisters have been stolen in an attempt to highlight what it would be
like to have so many people's sisters stolen. We will return the
pictures at the end, just put your name on the back.

The stolen sisters campaign is about raising awareness about the
countless number of indigenous women who have been murdered or have gone
missing over the past three decades. Government has neglected to act on
this issue and this campaign aims to inform the public and force
government to act.
