Awareness, Attendance and Hope grows at Hagersville vigil

The third annual Strawberry ceremony and Vigil for the missing/murdered aboriginal women and girls took place February 13 at Hagersville and New Credit community hall. As awareness of this issue has grown so has the attendance, which more than doubled from last year. The organizers of the event were Edebwed Ogichidaa (Val King) and Aileen Joseph.

The statistics are shocking. There are 7 billion people on this planet. Half of them are women. One third of these women will be raped or beaten in their lifetime. And according to the One Billion Rising website, on February 14, “over one billion people will rise, release, and dance to demand justice for all survivors of gender violence, and call for an end to the rampant impunity that prevails globally.”
