Sisters in Spirit

Sisters in Spirit is a campaign in Canada focused on raising awareness about the violence experienced by Indigenous women and girls. Launched in 2005, it aims to address the disproportionate rates of homicide and disappearance among Indigenous women. The initiative promotes research, community engagement, and public education to highlight these issues and advocate for justice. It emphasizes the importance of honoring the memory of Indigenous women, supporting their families, and fostering safer communities. The campaign has played a key role in pushing for national inquiries and policy changes to protect Indigenous women's rights and wellbeing.
