As a cross campus initiative, the Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Office, Strategic Indigenous Enrolment Initiatives, and CTLT Indigenous Initiatives created two resources on the Annual Women’s Memorial March & MMIWG2S+.
These resources are meant to be shared to provide support to Indigenous kin across UBC who may need some extra support on this day. Additionally, there is a specific resource for non-Indigenous allies who may need support on educating themselves and supporting Indigenous community. Please feel free to download these resources and share with your community!
Memorial March Support for Indigenous Kin
MMIWG2S+ Resources for non-Indigenous Allies
IF YOU NEED SUPPORT
Connect with Lauren Casey, SVPRO (https://svpro.ubc.ca/team/#lauren)
If you, or someone you know, has been impacted by MMIWG2S or any form of sexualized violence (assault, harassment, harm, etc.), you can access support and resources as a member of the UBC community at SVPRO. Our Indigenous Support Specialist, Lauren Casey, is available to support you with academics, safety planning, emergency funding/housing, referrals to counselling and more. Additionally, Lauren can connect you with community resources in Vancouver and/or your community. SVPRO is an intersectional, decolonial, inclusive space. All genders and sexualities are welcome. Connecting with SVPRO is not making a report to the university. If that is something you would like to explore, we can support you in doing so.
