📖 Key Information
Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls are victims of violence against Indigenous women in Canada and the United States, of those in the First Nations in Canada and Native American communities, but also amongst other Indigenous peoples, such as in Australia and New Zealand. A grassroots movement raises awareness of MMIWG through marches, building and maintaining records of the missing, holding meetings, and domestic violence training and other informational sessions for police.
Law enforcement, journalists, and activists in Indigenous communities in both the US and Canada have tried to raise awareness of the connection between sex trafficking, sexual harassment, sexual assault, and the women who go missing and are murdered.
