In Canada, a 2016 estimate suggested 4,000 Indigenous women and girls have gone missing or been murdered in the past 30 years — though the number has risen since then. A 2019 report stated that Indigenous women and girls are 12 times more likely to be murdered or go missing than any other demographic.
In Latin America, femicide disproportionately affects Indigenous women. It is estimated that Indigenous women represent 70% of trafficking victims in Mexico.
