A National Action Plan on #MMIW, informed by grassroots Indigenous organizations and advocates, must be urgently developed and implemented to address this crisis. #EndVAW #EndGBV #16Days #CallForAction #MMIW Il faut vite un plan d’action national pour les femmes et les filles autochtones disparues et assassinées, élaboré avec les groupes et les associations autochtones. #ContreVFF #FinÀLaVFS #16jours #AppelàlAction #FFADA

We strongly support the recommendations that have been put forth by calling for accountability and stand in solidarity with all those affected by violence. As anti-violence advocates, we are calling for police responses and accountability frameworks to address sexual violence within a broader context of anti-Black racism and systemic violence experienced within our communities. https://twitter.com/J4Abdira//1320071476654100486/photo/1 #EndGBV #BlackLivesMatter #16Days #En...dRacism #EndRacializedViolence #Endpolicebrutuality Nous souscrivons sans réserve aux recommandations qui ont été formulées pour une plus grande responsabilisation de la police et sommes solidaires de tous ceux et celles qui sont touchés par la violence. En matière de violence sexuelle, nous réclamons conséquemment que les cadres d’intervention et de responsabilisation de la police tiennent compte du racisme anti-noir et de la violence systémique vécue par certains membres de la collectivité. https://twitter.com/J4Abdirah//1320071476654100486/photo/1 #ContreVFF #FinÀLaVFS #LaVieDesNoirsCompte #16jours #StopRacisme #ViolenceRaciale #BrutalitéPolicière
