This book is dedicated to the hashtag #MMIW — Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. Indigenous women are seven times more likely to be abused and murdered. And when they are reported missing, it is often ignored by police.
The horrifying story of Robert Pickton, a man thought to have murdered more than 40 women in British Columbia, is a case study in the dismissal of reports of missing women. About half of the women murdered by Pickton were thought to be Indigenous.
Studies continue to show that the women who are most vulnerable are often the least served by our law enforcement. This story is for them.
