3. Systemic Racism in Law Enforcement
Systemic racism within law enforcement has long hindered justice for missing Indigenous women. Families often encounter indifference, slow response times, and a lack of urgency from police—starkly different from responses given to non-Indigenous victims. This persistent bias undermines investigations and allows perpetrators to evade accountability. Reports like those from the Amnesty International highlight the urgent need for reform and equal protection under the law.
