Medical malpractice and systemic racism are as interwoven as a spider's web. Should a dragline break, the spider spins its silk and the web is easily rewoven, like systemic racism, it is all linked. Sterilizations, forced or coerced, without consent, is the deadliest entrapment effectively eliminating generations of First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples lineages. This strategy of genocide continues its silent covert assault, with or without the knowledge of the survivors of sterilizations. Though sterilizations are being brought to the forefront, there remains a lack of willingness to talk about sterilizations, (understandably for survivors) nonetheless WE continue to champion change.
I hold up my hands in honor of the 'Firekeepers' for speaking out and taking a stand against the ongoing sterilizations in Canada and internationally.
For all the survivors of sterilizations, your voices are heard, and your heroism is boundless.
