Members of the Indigenous community also expressed their concern for the many missing or murdered women in Alberta and across Canada.
“We are more likely to face sexual assault, to face rape, to be abducted throughout Canada,” said Tatiana Weaselmoccasin.
Many want to see more action taken in addition to the National Inquiry that was held by the federal government, including better policing and more robust investigations, Weaselmoccasin added.
The Lethbridge Women’s March was one of many held across the country Saturday and organized through group March on Canada.
