#ThursdaysinBlack: “When will our voices be heard?” Indigenous leaders in Canada and the United States are seeking justice and solidarity for thousands of missing and murdered indigenous women. Continuing the commemoration of the International Day of Indigenous People on August 9, we listen to their painful stories, and join in their resistance and resilience to rape and violence. www.oikoumene.org/en/press-centre/news/families-of-indigenous-women-fervently-call-for-justice201...
