In 2019, the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre published the report entitled “RED WOMEN RISING: Indigenous Women Survivors in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside” and written by Carol Muree Martin (Nisga’a – Gitanyow) and Harsha Walia. This report is the first comprehensive project with Indigenous women survivors in the DTES figuring at the very centre of community research, rather than as a secondary statistic.
