The author comments on the human rights crisis that native communities across the world face: the sexual violence and murder of indigenous women and girls. The author first discusses the history of violence and discrimination against Indigenous communities in Canada, and how this has resulted in missing and murdered Indigenous women. The author also inquiries into the actions taken to investigate this epidemic. In the second part of the article, the author proposes several solutions to address the root of this epidemic. The author also makes the argument that this epidemic should be considered a human rights violation, more specifically, a violation of the human rights of Indigenous women in Canada.
