High school girls encourage discussion about domestic violence through song
For a school project, four Sakewew High School students decided to tackle a pretty serious subject.
Aaliyah, Brittany, Serita and Tahirah, who asked to be identified by their first names only, made a hip-hop music video about domestic violence and the hundreds of missing and murdered Aboriginal women in Canada.
Serita said she and the group wanted to focus on a topic which, in their opinions, is not discussed enough.
“There are so many girls going missing and half of them, you don’t know what happened to them…Some of them are found dead and you don’t even know how she got there or what her story was before that,” she said.
