Protests were held in two Yukon communities Monday calling for urgent action to protect Indigenous women from violence. "We have come to support Indigenous women in the territory and whole country by shining a light on the lack of justice," said Marion. She said the territory's justice system is failing when it comes to protecting women from violence. You have to try so much harder in order to be believed in the justice system and to get justice. "To say that systemic racism is not present in the justice system is to be completely naive at this point," she said.
