MMIWG-Inquiry

The chief commissioner of the inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women says today they are holding up “a mirror” to Canada. Marion Buller made the remark at an emotional ceremony today marking the formal release of findings from the inquiry that examined root causes of the violence against Indigenous women and girls. The much-anticipated report, which contains more than 200 recommendations to multiple levels of government, calls violence against First Nations, Metis and Inuit women and girls a form of “genocide” and a crisis. Buller called for true equality for Indigenous people and called on all Canadians to be part of the solution.
