Currently, aboriginal women are 3 times more likely to be killed by a stranger than non-aboriginal women. 

The National Inquiry into the missing and murdered indigenous women of Canada details that this epidemic of genocide across Canada must come to a halt. Broken indigenous peace, safety, and health have been a stain on Canada's history and our contemporary landscape that must be healed.

The World Human Rights Watch's 2021 report lists this crisis as one of the most prevalent human rights issues in Canada. The federal government must take action by acting on the National Inquiries' countless recommendations to improve Canada. The action plan has been delayed and set aside by the federal government in a time where increased domestic issues surrounding COVID-19 further the endangerment of indigenous women facing gender-based violence. Canada's Native Women Association has rated the Trudeau government a failing grade in responding and dealing with the severe inquiry that demands justice.

We recommend Justin Trudeau and Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett employ the help of Indigenous organizations to finally push out a comprehensive plan to change our systems and culture to ensure the safety of Canada's most unprotected. Without action, race and gender based violence against the important indigenous women in our society will prevail.
