Infograph. This is not history. This is now. Though Indigenous women make up just 4% of Canada's population, they accounted for 16% of female homicide victims between 1980 - 2014. Indigenous women are 12x more likely to go missing or be murdered than non-Indigenous women. Over 1500 cases have been documented across Canada.
