Thank you, Leslie.
Hello. I'm Ninu Kang, the executive director of the Ending Violence Association of BC. I'm calling from the unceded ancestral territories of the Squamish, Musqueam and Tsleil-Waututh nations. I'm honoured today to present with Leslie Varley.
Here at EVA BC, we recognize...When I was invited to join this panel, it was important that, in the local context, Leslie and I, who are working as executive directors in our local areas...I called on her, and asked her to lead this discussion.
At the Ending Violence Association of BC, we recognize that, as an organization, we are part of the structures of colonial systems, and, as Leslie has mentioned, many times we speak about indigenous women, and really look at any issue related to indigenous women—
