The Sisters In Spirit initiative addresses violence against Aboriginal (First Nations, Inuit and Métis) women, particularly racialized and/or sexualized violence, that is, violence perpetrated against Aboriginal women because of their gender and Aboriginal identity.  In particular the campaign focuses on the high rates of missing and murdered Aboriginal women in Canada.

Kate has worked in the social policy and research field with a particular interest in understanding the social, political, cultural, and economic barriers to Aboriginal peoples in Canada.
