There’s direct correlation between violence against Indigenous women & violence to the land;man camps w resource extraction. Hwy of Tears is a murderous area & CGL Pipeline,while violating rights of Indigenous Peoples/women on frontlines protecting territories. Read series Part 3
Early this morning, a fire was set on the road and CGL work was stopped. Another two arrests were made on Gidimt'en territory, for a growing total of 34 arrests in the last several weeks. That makes 36 arrests since Coyote Camp was established on Sept 25th, 2021.
Globally, 243 million women & girls were abused by an intimate partner in the past year.
We demand justice for all survivors of violence, during & beyond, #16DaysofActivism. Women deserve to live in a world free from #GBV - It is everyone's responsibility to make that a reality.
Supporting the #TRIPSwaiver at the WTO is not just a moral imperative. It's also a legal necessity and groups are willing to go to court to insist on it! https://t.co/AaUZlawvZi
We join a coalition of voices calling for the #UNCERD to intervene in recent human rights violations against Indigenous peoples in BC, as 🇨🇦 gov continues to willfully ignore 2019 UN directives to halt work on the Coastal GasLink Pipeline #WetsuwetenStrong

Pendant les #16jours d'activisme, nous devons reconnaître le lien entre la #VFG & l'insécurité au logement. 75% des femmes & des pers de diverses identités de genre en situation d’itinérance s'identifient comme des survivantes de traumatismes/d'abus. RSVP: https://t.co/ZqFhKnioQf
The RCMP is committing atrocious acts of violence against land defenders on unceded Wet'suwet'en territory. Tell @jjHorgan and @nathancullen to call off the RCMP and halt construction on CGL: https://t.co/r06H58IqJq #WetsuwetenStrong
And the First Nations actually had to go to Court to fight for a ruling that these 150+ years of miserly resource wealth-sharing violate treaties and is nothing even remotely close to reconciliation.
