Vancouver Rape Relief’s Written Closing Submission for the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls

We do not accept murder, rape, wife battering and incest as inevitable and we do not accept prostitution as inevitable. These are all acts done by men to women in patriarchal world where the relationship between men and women are based on domination and subordination. We do not accept that this kind of relationships between men and women are inevitable. Learning that Indigenous women in pre-colonial Canada were treated in their nations with respect and honor, gives us hope. It reinforces our refusal to accept women’s oppression as inevitable. Knowing that fairly recently in human history, women had social and spiritual roles that were regarded as valuable as those men had, makes our fight for liberation not only possible, but tangible.

Opinion: Inquiry needs feminist perspective

Unless the federal government takes immediate and serious measures to have feminism at the forefront, it dooms the inquiry, before it has even started, to failure.
