Marchers gather for annual B C event to honour missing, murdered women

Johnson said little has been done to properly investigate the disproportionate amount of Indigenous women that go missing or are killed in Vancouver s Downtown Eastside neighbourhood. Because we re First Nation, we re meaningless to society. That gets to be tiresome, she said. Serial killer Robert Pickton was convicted in 2007 on six counts of second-degree murder but is suspected of killing dozens of women who went missing from the Downtown Eastside.

VANCOUVER Hundreds of people gathered at the intersection of Main Street and East Hastings Street on Sunday and heard stories from family members who have lost loved ones before taking to the streets for the annual Downtown Eastside Women’s March. “We’re here to speak in honour of my mother who was murdered,” Jana Rae Tom told the crowd, as her daughter Shelby Wong stood by her side. “She was raped, she was beaten, and when she was found she was unclothed.” Tom’s mother’s body was found behind the Balmoral Hotel years ago, just metres from where she spoke Sunday.
