Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women (MMIW)

Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women (MMIW) refers to the tragic and disproportionate number of Indigenous women across North America who are either murdered or go missing without adequate investigation or acknowledgment. This crisis highlights systemic issues like racism, inequality, and insufficient federal and local response. Indigenous women often face higher risks of violence, and their cases frequently remain unresolved. Addressing MMIW involves raising awareness, improving law enforcement efforts, and advocating for justice and policy changes to protect Indigenous communities and ensure accountability.
