The Missing Indigenous Women Canada Refuses to See


Tthat all Trust against girls from among the indigenous peoples, women and gender-sabotage people in Canada.

Firstly, as the writer -writer Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg Leanne Betasamosake Simpson notes, they “reproduce and enhance” the fundamental values, final characteristics of the indigenous peoples and culture, as they are diverse. Secondly, she writes that it was this quality that made them targeted violence in the country, which seeks to eradicate a root disease.

These truths have been especially demonstrated in Manitobe since 2022. After the discovery of the remains of the first nation of the first nation of the Oblast-Chi-chok-Ko-Sipi re-kekka horseman near the residential complex of Winnipeg, at least in women of the indigenous peoples. Counted At a landfill north of the city. Marucedes Miran and Morgan Harris from Long Plain First Nation and Ashlee Shingooose from St. Theersa Point Anisininw Nation, like Contois, were described in the news as vulnerable and participating streets. All were also mothers. Convicted serial killer who killed these women Frequent shelters for homeless In Winnepag, in order to look for his victims, his preference to be vulnerable women from among the indigenous peoples, whose circumstances were terrible.



Women's families and communities begged officials to conduct a search – screams for justice, which the police and provincial leadership opposed financial ability there. The voltage spilled into provincial elections, when a progressive conservative campaign claimed that there were exorbitant financial and safe costs associated with the search. This discussion about whether the indigenous mothers are extracting waste from piles, show where the floor and reconciliation intersect. Public and political indifference to their life and posthumous dignity are based on a specific problem: Canadian exclusivity, which advertises a progressive feminist policy, with the exception of cases where you are indigenous peoples.

In 1994, Canada sponsored the foundation of a special speaker of the United Nations in violence against women, its causes and consequences. Champion on human rights, gender equality and even The feminist approach To the policy of international assistance, Canada has distinguished itself by the protection of women's rights in Global sphere More than three decades. At home, in 2015, then the recently elected prime minister Justin Trudeau He proclaimed: “I am a feminist”, set an equal number of women and men in his office and prescribed a gender analysis of all approaches of state policy.

Although the position was founded in 1994, the first visit to Canada was a special speaker Not before Spring 2018. In his report for 2019 at the UN, the then speaker, Dubravka Shmonovich, noted the leadership of Canada in the field of gender equality and women's rights, as well as its announcement as the feminist government, but responded to the domestic reality of the Grimer. “Women of indigenous peoples from the communities of indigenous peoples, mestizos and Inuits”, Notes of the report“Congration with violence, marginalization, exclusion and poverty of institutional, systemic, multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination not considered by the state.”

Such is the curious nature of the strong existential riddle of Canada: at the same time, the champion and violator of human rights. Some of the recommendations of the report, like many reports that preceded and changed it, urge Canada to put an end to systemic damage, which disproportionately affects women of the indigenous peoples and take into account the impact.

The commission on truth and reconciliation clearly did not apply the concentration of the floor. How reconciliation in Canada can be gender persecution is a matter that women of indigenous peoples advocated the TRC process, but this was not indicated in the final report. Of the ninety -four calls to action, only one is specially focused on the gender question: the number of forty one, which caused an investigation of the missing and dead women and girls from among the indigenous peoples. Two hundred thirty -one call to justice appeared from the investigation in MMIWG, but six years later only two were completed.

Liora Salter and Debra Salko describe “Request fatigue” in their text 1981 Public requests in Canada: “Requests depend on the goodwill of the government and departments to ensure the fulfillment of the conditions that they offer“ upon approval ”. Reports, requests, commissions and studies regarding the injustice faced by indigenous peoples in this country came to the conclusion that indigenous peoples suffer interconnected forms of system discrimination, for which Canada is direct responsibility.

There were no reconciliation and government goodwill to solve these issues when Manitoba spent a public debate on how to offer dignity after incredible violence, which was survived by four women from among the indigenous peoples in life and death. The WAB Kinew elections as prime minister confirmed that the indigenous peoples always knew: compensation and justice for indigenous peoples do not arise from moral clarity in basic Canada. The first prime minister of the indigenous population required the first to ensure justice for these women, one of whom was still gone. The reconciliation itself is one -sided aspiration, with indigenous peoples – the skin to many of them, women are most of the hard work.

And how Mark CarneyThe reconciliation version holds the economic direction, it is worth noting that projects for the development of resources are the cornerstone of this economic plan – are Epicenters of human traffickinginfluencing the communities of indigenous peoples and, in particular, women and gender-sabotage people are the most.

Although it is true that reconciliation without gender focus leaves indigenous girls, women and gender-decayed people more vulnerable, it is also true that people in our communities, who do important work to protect justice, search for justice and cultural protection. Their ability to prosper ensures the prosperity and the future of our individual indigenous peoples. Too much become vulnerable in systems that intend to inaction.
