More than 4,000 women have been murdered or disappeared in Canada

The Genocide of Indigenous Women Is Happening Right Now. Tell Canadian Authorities to Stop the Violence Now! Sign Now Dear friends, Indigenous women are being "disappeared" in Canada. The country's Truth and Reconciliation Committee spent three years investigating the terrifying number of murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls, and its work culminated in the release of a damning report. According to the Committee, there is currently an ongoing "Canadian genocide" against Indigenous women and members of the LGBTQ community. From the evidence they could collect, the Committee found that far more than 4,000 Indigenous people have been murdered or "disappeared" in the past few decades. But the true toll and number of victims will likely never be known. Canadian authorities must take action to stop this genocide, now! The more than 1,200-page-long report details the horrors still being inflicted upon the Indigenous community, even today. These include Canada's former practice of forcibly sending thousands of Indigenous children to government-sponsored residential schools, where they were abused for decades. On top of that, Canada's First Nation peoples have also endured abductions, sexual violence, forced sterilizations, lack of medical access, mass food insecurity, homelessness, and active cultural erasure. Thankfully, the document also includes 231 specific recommendations on how the Canadian government can both begin to make amends for these heinous crimes and to stop them once and for all. It is time to put an end to the centuries of mistreatment of Canada's First Nations peoples! Sign the petition to tell Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Canadian Parliament to immediately start implementing the report's recommendations. Thank you for taking action to help Canada's First Nations people,   Steff D. The Care2 Petitions Team P.S. The New York Times has called this "a race-based genocide of Indigenous peoples, including First Nations, Inuit and Métis." This cultural violence has to end now. Sign the petition.
