All Canadians have a role to play in ending MMIW ‘genocide,’ report says:
Today the Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women And Girls report was released.
The inquiry’s final report, released publicly this morning with more than 200 recommendations to the federal government, calls violence against First Nations, Metis and Inuit women and girls a form of “genocide” and a crisis that has been “centuries in the making.”
“As the evidence demonstrates, human rights and Indigenous rights abuses and violations committed and condoned by the Canadian state represent genocide against Indigenous women, girls, and (LGBTQ and two-spirit) people,” it concludes.
And Canadian racists are arguing that it isn’t genocide.
