The Red Dress Project is to acknowledge the number of Aboriginal woman who have either disappeared or were murdered across Canada, yet ignored by the Federal Government. This vigil was held at Station 20 West in Saskatoon, as part of a nationwide program. There were a number of panelists who spoke, and then members of the audience shared their experiences of both being harassed and knowing others who have vanished, or were killed.
The red dresses were placed throughout the University of Saskatchewan for a number of days, and were also hung around Station 20 West for this gathering. This was just one of three such protests I attended within the last week, one being a march to also protest missing and murdered Aboriginal Women, and the other a march for Take Back the Night.
