Indigenous women, girls killed at rate six times higher than non-Indigenous: StatCan
OTTAWA – A new Statistics Canada report has found that homicides of Indigenous women and girls are less likely to result in the most serious murder charges than cases in which victims were non-I...
Hugely embarrassing for canada, and shows our historic blind spot for indigenous lives.
That's sad.
But also not surprising. There are lots of people acting shocked, but none of them are indigenous. All of the indigenous women are rolling their eyes and going “well yeah, did we really need to waste money on a study to find out what we already knew?”
Who is killing them? Why?
I skimmed the article and it mentioned most are killed by someone they knew. This is barely helpful. Why all the murders? Are they mostly in extreme poverty? Drug/crime problems?
The report also said most Indigenous women and girls were found to be killed by someone they knew, and those accused in most cases were also Indigenous.
Seems like a failure of res police forces rather than racism.
it shows one hell of alot more than just failure of police-services/enforcement:
it shows failure of parenting, of education, of community, of journalism, of acceptance-within-Canada, and much more...
How do you manufacture violent-crime in a community/city?
Increase the young-male unemployment, and the young males will assault whomever they can take it out on.
That automatic function has been known for decades, ttbomk.
What's apparently happening is the same: males taking some internally-felt-harm & multiplying it, enforcing it onto others, who are unable to defend themselves.
I wish male-culture valued integrity anywhere near as much as it values bulling successfully, not just in this, or that, race/culture, but across all of 'em.
Thank you for highlighting the point you did, Hoomin...
Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen, eh?

they should probably stop hanging out with indigenous men
