The thousands of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls across Canada in recent decades are victims of a genocide, says the MMIWG national inquiry’s final report. #MMIWG
The report, obtained by CBC News, concludes that a genocide driven by the disproportionate level of violence faced by Indigenous women and girls occurred in Canada through "state actions and inactions rooted in colonialism and colonial ideologies." #MMIWG
The recommendations include a call to change the Criminal Code to treat cases of homicides involving intimate partner violence as first-degree murder, and for a review of the use of the 'Gladue principle' in cases involving the deaths of Indigenous women and girls. #MMIWG
The report also called on Canadians themselves to take action — to denounce violence and racism against Indigenous women and girls and 2SLGBTQQIA, learn the true history of the Indigenous experience in Canada and read the inquiry's report. #MMIWG
The report runs to over 1,200 pages and includes more than 230 recommendations. It's being released at a ceremony Monday at the Museum of History in Gatineau, Que. #MMIWG
