Fast att tala om Indigenous women in Canada och jamfora med man i USA ar som att jamfora hur val citroner vaxer i Sverige versus Spanien.
Det som har nagon betydelse i den har diskussionen ar att indigenous women ar 4% av alla kvinnor i Kanada, men att 16% av alla kvinnomord mellan 1980-2012 ar av indigenous women.
The
Missing and murdered Indigenous women epidemic (
MMIW) is an issue currently affecting
Indigenous people in
Canada and the
United States, including the
First Nations,
Inuit,
Métis (
FNIM) and
Native American communities.
[1][2][3][4] It has been described as a Canadian national crisis
[5][6][7] and a Canadian
genocide.
[8][9]
Responding to repeated calls of Indigenous groups, other activists, and
non-governmental organizations, the Government of Canada under Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau established the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in September 2016.
[10]According to the April 22, 2016 background on the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, from 1980 and 2012, Indigenous women and girls represented 16% of all female homicides in Canada while representing only 4% of the female population in Canada.
[11] A 2011 Statistics Canada report estimated that from 1997 and 2000, the rate of homicide for Aboriginal females was almost seven times higher than other females.
[12]Compared to non-Indigenous females, they were also "disproportionately affected by all forms of violence".
[11] They are also significantly over-represented among female Canadian homicide victims,
[13] and are far more likely than other women to go missing.
