So far, her data set includes 2,501 cases, and it’s far from complete. Behind the vanishing women is an array of causes — domestic violence and sex trafficking, as well as police indifference, racism, lack of resources allocated to tribal governments...

Glad people are finally taking notice.

We have had this issue too in North Western Canada for many years. It was sad to see the amount of Aboriginal women gone missing in British Columbia. Our P.M. @JustinTrudeau said he would help our Aboriginal communities but I haven't seen any real efforts by him.

You should watch the documentary Highway of Tears

It’s a huge issue in Canada as well. There is a national inquiry under way as we speak.

There is a Canadian podcast called “Missing and Murdered” that deals with the same issue but in Canada. It’s very well done, and so very disturbing as well.

A group of film students from Chapman University in CA wrote and produced a television pilot on this very subject. My cousin directed the pilot, called Dirt, and it is now an Official Selection in the Independent Pilot Competition at the New York Television Festival this July.

Thank you Shaun for pushing this out for ALL Native Women. We are not 'invisible and gone" when folks like you help us get the message out. Please know it is very hard for us to rally around #WhereAreTheMissingChildren when no one notices the 200+ women missing from fracking area

Very sad,the American Indians were here first and never get respect just like slaves didn’t! FactJersey Shore,this reminds me of all the deaths in Puerto Rico that nobody addressed

Thank you Shaun, Eugene & Alleen for helping bring awareness to this INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT & COMPLETELY IGNORED ISSUE!!

And Canada. Our government “pretends” that it’s helping but they aren’t.

Thank you for sharing this very important message. It's a sad issue that needs to be addressed nationally now!

Thank you. Finally.
