The release of a report from the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls has sparked reaction in this province.
A coalition of B.C. groups, including the Union of BC Indian Chiefs, says violence against Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people continues to devastate families and communities.
The group calls on the federal and provincial governments to take immediate action to implement the more than 200 recommendations in the report.
“For too long we have waited for action on this issue, and this report covers much of what we already know,” says Chief Judy Wilson of the Neskonlith First Nation near Kamloops. “We need safe and accessible housing, transportation, and services for Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people.”
