This report by Yukon Status of Women Council is the result of extensive research and was tabled in the Yukon Legislative Assembly yesterday - Oct. 6th by Private Member Carmen Gustafson - Riverdale North. She stated "a person’s postal code should not define whether they can
access dignified and timely health care. It is beyond time to
improve abortion care in the Yukon." Read full statement on pg 3 of the Hansardhttps://yukonassembly.ca/sites/default/files/blues/36-1-39-qpblues.pdf

Thank you to everyone who came out to support the Sisters in Spirit walk and vigil last Fri. Oct. 2nd. It was beautiful to see the community come together to support families and survivors, grieve, and call for ongoing justice.

Coordinated by Yukon Aboriginal Women's Council (YAWC) in Whitehorse each year, the walk honours Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people (MMIWG2S+). This year's event concluded with testimonies from MMIWG2S+ family members, prayers, a chance to smudge around the Sacred Fire, and a light meal.

We stand in solidarity with YAWC and all those impacted.
