from HERHealth Podcast · host AVA Training Centre
Welcome to the HERHealth Podcast!In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Jacqueline Holler and Sara Heembrock, who present on the ongoing crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and gender minorities (MMIWG+) along the Highway of Tears, an issue widely recognized globally and shaped by strong advocacy and community-led efforts for change.Drawing from collaborative research and engagement led by Carrier Sekani Family Services, the Northern Feminist Institute for Research and Evaluation, and partners across North-Central British Columbia, the conversation reflects on progress since the 2006 Highway of Tears Symposium, which resulted in 33 recommendations aimed at prevention and systemic change.Through community-based research conducted since 2023, this episode highlights both the advancements made and the gaps that remain in prevention efforts.Keep up with their work!
