Missing Murdered Indigenous Women: The Globe and Mail The Globe's project on missing and murdered Indigenous women. We would love to hear from you. However, the RCMP is not making its data public.

The Globe and Mail is embarking on a long-term project to investigate the issue of missing and murdered indigenous women in Canada. Our commitment is a big one: We’re assembling a team of reporters, editors, web developers, photographers and videographers to take on an issue that we believe has been sidestepped for far too long. Aside from traditional journalistic tools, we are seeking partnership

s with community leaders, data specialists and other scientific “investigators” to find patterns and lines of inquiry that will help us find out what happened to these women, and to tell their stories. For example, we are seeking input from forensic anthropologists who have dealt with cases of missing and murdered people in other parts of the world. The 2014 RCMP report on Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women says between 1980 and 2012, there were 1,181 cases of Aboriginal female homicides and missing Aboriginal women: 1,017 homicides (with 120 identified as unsolved) and 164 unresolved missing persons cases. At the Globe, we are working with a list of approximately 1,200 names, but unfortunately as these cases keep occurring, the database will keep growing. There is much work to be done.
