We are Indigenous girls, women and LGBTQIA2S+ people, advocating to prevent violence along Highway 16.
The Highway of Tears is a 725-kilometre corridor of Highway 16 between Prince George and Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada, which has been the location of many missing and murdered Indigenous women.
Who we are
The Highway of Tears Governing Body was formed as a result of one of the Highway of Tears Symposium Report Recommendations and it provides direction and support to our work.
What we are fighting for
With respect and love for our missing or murdered loved ones along the Highway of Tears, we are committed to fulfilling the thirty three recommendations from the Highway of Tears Recommendations Report to end the violence towards Indigenous women and our communities.
Community Safety Toolkit
This toolkit was created by Indigenous family members who’ve had a missing or murdered loved one so others with a similar experience don’t have to feel as alone, in the dark or have no idea what to do if someone goes missing. Our prayers and strength are with you in your journey. May your loved one be found and come home to the family who loves and misses them.
Because of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls from communities across our country, Canadians are missing out on thousands of Indigenous women that could have been our mothers, teachers, lawyers, doctors, mayors and more. Each of these women’s lives were interrupted much too soon and Canada would be a different place if they were still living among us.
