CU Debating: Human Rights Event November 25th, 7pm
by cuds＠lists.ncf.ca
The following is an announcement from the Carleton Human Rights Society
and Amnesty Carleton:
Stolen Sisters,
Discrimination and violence against Indigenous women in Canada.
On Thursday, November 25th the Carleton Human Rights Society and Amnesty
Carleton will be holding an event regarding the "Stolen Sisters" cases
across Canada. This event begins at 7:00pm in Room 100 of St. Patrick's
building.
Irene Compton from Ottawa's Minwaashin Lodge - Aborignal Women's Support
Center will be discussing the current situation among Aboriginal women
across Canada and the responses from Aboriginal communities. In
addition, a fieldworker from Amnesty International Canada will discuss
the actions that must be taken from our government to deal with these
major human rights atrocities.
The Stolen Sisters report tells the stories of Indigenous women and
girls who have been murdered or who have disappeared from cities in
western Canada. With a release of a new report and an international
action appeal, Amnesty International is joining Indigenous families
across Canada in urging immediate government action to ensure the safety
of Indigenous women in Canadian cities.
Their stories illustrate three important concerns impacting on the lives
of Indigenous women across Canada:
> the heightened threat of violence created by the social and economic
> marginalization of Indigenous women within Canadian society;
> the frequent failure of police and the justice system to provide
> adequate protection to Indigenous women
> evidence that some men are exploiting this vulnerability to
> specifically target Indigenous women for acts of extreme brutality.
For more information about these cases, please refer www.amnesty.ca or
www.minlodge.com
* We welcome everyone to attend. This event will be followed by a
question and answer period. *

Warmest Regards,
The Carleton Human Rights Society and Amnesty Carleton
