Women's Memorial March
February 14th is a Memorial Day to remember murdered and missing Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two Spirit family and community members. The ISC remembers and honours all our Indigenous loved ones who have been murdered and gone missing.
Join us for the 35th Annual Women's Memorial March
The Memorial March is an opportunity to come together to grieve the loss of our beloved sisters and relatives in the Downtown Eastside. We dedicate ourselves to justice because Indigenous women, girls, Two Spirit & trans people still face physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual violence on a daily basis. All welcome.

Every February 14th the Women's Memorial March takes place. The first women鈥檚 memorial march was held in 1992 in response to the murder of a woman on Powell Street in Vancouver. Out of this sense of hopelessness and anger came an annual march on Valentine鈥檚 Day to express compassion, community, and caring for all women in Vancouver鈥檚 Downtown Eastside on unceded Coast Salish territories. We encourage others to join us in supporting this event and continue raising awareness.
