#74 FiLiA meets: Hilla Kerner

Hilla Kerner is a feminist who works with Vancouver Rape Relief and Women's Shelter, the longest standing rape crisis centre in Canada. She joins Sadia Hameed in a conversation about Cindy Gladue, a mother and Indigenous woman involved in prostitution who was killed at the age of 36. In a shocking and disturbing trial, her accused killer was acquitted of murder. Cindy Gladue's case has become emblematic of the abuse and injustice faced by Indigenous women and girls in Canada, and the lack of justice for victims of sexual assault.
