MLC Midwest-Canada Relations Committee Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives Webinar

This session focused on how federal, state, provincial, and local governments can improve the response to murders, violence, and disappearances of Indigenous people, especially women and girls. Indigenous people are disproportionately impacted by these crimes and investigations into missing persons are often delayed. Speakers discussed possible solutions on how to respond to the systemic causes of violence, collect and report data, address institutional policies and practices, reduce and eliminate violence, and help Indigenous victims/survivors, families and communities prevent and heal from violence.
