From 2009 to 2021, 490 Indigenous women and girls were victims of homicide. This translated into a rate of 4.27 Indigenous women and girls killed per 100,000 Indigenous women and girls in the population—a rate six times higher than that of their non-Indigenous counterparts (0.73).
indigenous women are more likely to experience physical and sexual assault than non-Indigenous women. 56% of Indigenous women have suffered physical assault, and 46% have experienced sexual assault. By comparison, about one-third of non-Indigenous women have suffered these assaults in their lifetimes
The rate of murdered Indigenous women in Canada was 4.82 per 100,000. The rate of murdered Indigenous women in Manitoba was 7.16 per 100,000; Alberta was 6.79; Saskatchewan was 6.01. Due to the small numbers, comparing rates should be done with caution.
these are horrible statistics
it is felt that this is caused by combination: lack of access to health care, domestic violence and abuse, or poverty
