Action required for murdered, missing women

Vivian Tucarro (centre) with son Billy Joe get comfort from event organizer April Eve Wiberg as the family remembered Amber Tuccaro at the Sisters in Spirit rally and Stolen Sisters Awareness Walk in Edmonton on Oct. 6. Amber went missing August 2010. Her body was found east of Leduc almost two years later on Sept. 1.  The family’s plea for action, both to prevent violence and to get closure for the families of the hundreds of missing and murdered Aboriginal women, was joined by Assembly of First Nations National Chief Shawn Atleo, who was in attendance, along with federal, provincial and municipal politicians.
