If this applies to you, please describe your involvement in women's memorial making/violence prevention?: I work for the Ontario Aboriginal HIV/AIDS Strategy. With in our programs, we find that violence against our Indigenous women is huge. We teach safety measures for the women & as it is huge for women living with HIV we also work close with them. It may not apply to what you are asking but still very important as a one on one. I also have grew up on the streets of East End of Van. Long time ago but sometimes seams like yesterday. I have had friends who were MMIW. I support all women in Violence Prevention!
