Between 8 Nov 2021 and 17 Feb 2022 AL Jazeera published a serial of
articles about femicides of Canadian Indigenous women and girls of which each word is so
heartbreaking that it takes a lot of courage to read the whole serial. Still I challenge you to do so! I divided it according to the
number of articles and quoted from them ending with a read more URL. All
articles were written by Brandi Morin (1 to 9) except the last one

<<A letter to … Sarah, who was murdered by a serial killer
Journalist Julie Bindel writes to Sarah Jean de Vries – a writer and
victim of the serial killer Robert Pickton – whose powerful reflections
about society letting down sexually exploited women still ring true
today.
Dear Sarah, writer, poet, and one of the many victims of serial killer
Robert Pickton.
In Vancouver in 2012, several years after you went missing, I heard the
evidence you left behind about the hellish violence and abuse of women
on the streets, and the lack of concern from police and too many
citizens. Your beloved sister Maggie read your evidence – diary entries
and poetry – to the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry into how police
forces were investigating cases of missing and murdered women in British
Columbia, and why it took so long to catch your killer. I had an
interest in Pickton’s crimes, having written about them in 2005. I was
researching a book on the global sex trade and knew many feminists
working to end sexual exploitation in Vancouver and elsewhere in Canada.
Pickton preyed on sexually exploited women, namely those struggling to
survive on the streets.
Over the years, you had written in your diary about the man, or men, who
preyed on street prostituted women in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside,
long before Pickton was caught. While you had no idea of Pickton’s name
or identity, you knew it was unlikely that his capture would be a
priority because for so long the police maintained the women were
transient and would eventually show up. A decade after first hearing
them, I still can’t get your words out of my head. <Am I next? Is he
watching me now? Stalking me like a predator and its prey. Waiting,
waiting for some perfect spot, time or my stupid mistake. How does one
choose a victim? Good question. If I knew that, I would never get
snuffed,> reads an entry from 1995.
These words made me shiver.>>
