Missing Manitoba Women: Why Are Manitoba's Aboriginal Women Going Missing?: [huffingtonpost.ca] Missing Manitoba Women does not restrict the cases to aboriginal women -- or even solely to women -- but that’s who makes up the majority of the cases.
It’s estimated that 75 aboriginal women have disappeared in Manitoba in the last two decades. Across Canada, The Native Women's Association of Canada says more than 600 women have gone missing or been murdered since 1990.
Aboriginal women are three-and-a-half times more like to experience violence and for younger women, are five times more likely to die from violence than non-aboriginal women in Canada. And Manitoba, where the highest percentage of aboriginal women live, has seen more than its share of tragedy.
