Missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls in Canada (MMIWG) refers to a human rights crisis that has only recently become a topic of discussion within national media. Indigenous women and communities, women’s groups and international organizations have long called for action into the high and disproportionate rates of violence and the appalling numbers of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls in Canada
During an opening address at an international conference on MMIWG, writer Maria Campbell stated that “patriarchy and misogyny are so ingrained in our society that they are normal, and our silence makes them normal.”

Get the MMIWG mug.An inquest in Canada that blames the White Man for the deaths and disappearances of aboriginal females, when we all know damn well that most people are killed by people they know, in this case aboriginal men.
Justin: *in virtue signalling tears* Poor Tina Fontaine! The system failed her and her family and the White Man is solely to blame! MMIWG is all because of colonialism, not native-on-native violence!
Captain Reality: My ass. She ran away to be with her mom, who got her into drugs and prostitution, and then she got murdered and dumped in the river by a family friend.
