ABSTRACT

Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit are at high risk of victimisation in North America. Although this experience exists across geopolitical boundaries, Canada and the United States have very different responses to this reality. This article identifies the varying efforts by each country to address missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit (MMIWG2). It reveals that, while both still have much work to do, the United States is far behind Canada in investigating the situation. The article concludes with two suggestions: first, academics should work with other relevant parties to better understand the MMIWG2 situation in the United States and, second, that both countries would be strengthened from an exchange in information and collaboration. MMIWG2 are not confined by national borders and neither should be academic efforts and solutions.

有什么计划?扩大北美的MMIWG2对话

摘要

在北美,土著妇女,女童和两个精神的受害风险很高。尽管这种经验跨越地缘政治界限存在,但加拿大和美国对这一现实的反应却截然不同。本文说明了每个国家为解决失踪和被谋杀的土著妇女,女童和两名精神问题而做出的不同努力(MMIWG2)。它表明,尽管两国仍有许多工作要做,但美国在调查局势方面远远落后于加拿大。本文的结论有两个建议:首先,学者们应与其他有关方面合作,以更好地了解美国的MMIWG2形势;其次,通过信息和合作的交流,两国将得到加强。
