That's interesting, because you mentioned Indigenous women and girls. I remind everyone that tomorrow is May 5, which marks Red Dress Day. It's a day when we can collectively reflect on the reasons why, in 2023, Indigenous women and girls are disproportionately affected by the various things we about at committee. That includes resource exploitation, sexual exploitation or domestic violence. So, tomorrow, let's take the time to reflect on it all.
Another thing I find worrisome is the issue of trust in the system. Victims should not be afraid of reprisals or being victimized again. They should be able to believe that they really will be helped. As you said, from 2011 to 2021, 54% of human trafficking cases reported to police weren't solved, meaning the police didn't identify an alleged perpetrator. In comparison, just over one third, or 35%, of cases of general violence weren't solved. That means there are many more unsolved cases when it comes to human trafficking.
How do we explain the difference? Why is it so difficult to identify perpetrators of these crimes? What should we implement to better identify them?
