The tragedy of Canada's Missing Women is a dark chapter in the nation's history, involving the unsolved disappearances and murders of Indigenous women and girls across the country. This ongoing crisis has been acknowledged as a national tragedy, with inquiries and investigations highlighting the systemic failures and lack of adequate response from authorities and institutions. The Indigenous women and girls who have gone missing or been murdered face heightened vulnerability due to underlying factors such as poverty, discrimination, and violence, which have been further exacerbated by colonial policies and ongoing systemic racism. Canada's reckoning with this tragedy demands urgent action to address the root causes, support affected families and communities, and ensure justice and accountability for the missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.
