They are only seven people, but they represent so many more.

Each one of the four women and three men has lost someone, a family member or a friend — just a handful of the 4,200 missing and murdered women in Canada.

Bernie Williams leads this Walk4Justice group, which walked from Moose Jaw to Regina on Monday to raise awareness of this epidemic.

Williams' sister and mother were slain in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, while another sister was slain in Merritt, B.C. Nobody was ever charged.

“One of our goals is to keep creating that awareness out there, that just because (Robert) Pickton has been arrested, the violent acts have not stopped. Women still continue to go missing from the Downtown Eastside and right across Canada,” said Williams, whose group left Vancouver on June 21 and plans to rally in Ottawa on Parliament Hill on Sept. 19.

The $10 million over two years allocated in the 2010 federal budget to investigate the number of missing and murdered aboriginal women is not enough, she added.

“This is the value of these women's lives? There's something seriously wrong with that,” said Williams.

In 2008 during the first Walk4Justice, there were 2,932 missing and murdered women.

“You can see the number rise,” said Williams. “It's not only aboriginal women, it's all women.”

“I hope our government gets stronger on the judicial system, to make laws tougher on murderers, child molestation, because this is genocide against all women,” said Susan Martin, who walks on behalf of her daughter, Terrie Ann Dauphinais.

Dauphinais was killed on April 29, 2002, in Calgary, leaving behind her three small children. Police considered Terrie Ann's husband Ken Dauphinais a person of interest in the case, but he was never charged.

“I'm doing this for all of our sisters, all of our grandmothers, all of our aunties, especially the children that are left behind, because the children will never ever know what it's like to have a mother's love, or to have their mom kiss their boo-boos or to hug or tell them they love them. So this is my journey,” said Martin, who flew to Vancouver from her home in London, Ont., to participate in the walk.lacostestore was created in order to maintain a balance of the athletes' movement.

“Each and every one of us hates this journey, but we do it to bring awareness, and if I can save one woman's life by telling my child's story, which I've already done, then I'm doing something positive. It'll never ever bring my child back, but I'm giving someone else their child back,” said Martin.
