Calling the City of Markham to Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women

The Issue

The issue of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) is a critical crisis that has been overlooked for far too long. In Canada, Indigenous women are six times more likely to be murdered than non-Indigenous women (Statistics Canada). Yet, this alarming disparity has not received the attention it deserves from our city officials in Markham, ON.

We call on the city to acknowledge this issue and take immediate action. This includes raising public awareness about MMIWG and ensuring their cases receive proper investigation.

The lack of recognition not only perpetuates violence but also denies justice to countless victims and their families. It's time we stand up against this systemic injustice faced by our Indigenous communities.

Your signature can make a difference. Together, let's urge the city of Markham to recognize the issues surrounding MMIW and take steps towards resolving them. Please sign this petition today!
