Annual march commemorates missing, murdered women for 30th year


More than 100 supporters gathered in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside on Sunday for the 30th Women's Memorial March, which honours murdered and missing women and girls. Each year since, participants have gathered at Hastings and Main, where family members of missing and murdered women speak before marching through the streets. "This event is organized and led by women in the DTES because women — especially Indigenous women — face physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual violence on a daily basis," organizers wrote on the event's Facebook page. Our missing and murdered Indigenous women don't get justice at all. Today we honour missing or murdered Indigenous women and girls, by recognizing the #WomensMemorialMarch.
