I have data here from Stats Canada showing that 81% of indigenous women and girls were killed by someone they knew, “including an intimate partner (35%), acquaintance (24%), or family member (22%). In most cases, the person accused of their homicide was also Indigenous (86%).”
I'm looking at these stats and thinking that we have a hell of a job ahead of us to change those numbers so that they're not so drastic. I don't know if you've read the book If I Go Missing. It's a really good book, and it also says that.
Are you saying that by working with young men and helping them appreciate and respect women, we can change these numbers?
