    Indigenous Femicide: The Neglected Horror

    Simrunjit Bans / December 1, 2022

    Indigenous women in the USA and Canada face alarming femicide rates. These sixteen days of “Activism Against Gender-Based Violence” should serve to shine a spotlight upon the marked terror they face. Recently, Wendy R.

    Women and War: Abandoned Figures

    Ekaterina Zemskova / September 5, 2022

Indeed, for many victim-survivors around the world, turning towards a justice…
