Description
Summary:« Missing and murdered Indigenous women », what is lying underneath this common expression? 1200? 2000? An undefined number of cases, but still, one question remains: what has become of them? In a context conductive to pluriculturalism in Canada, the integration of migrants from around the globe has become easier; the various cultural particularisms of populations living in Canada are well accepted and yet, Indigenous women remain the most discriminated racial and sexual minority of the country. Subject to high levels of violence, poverty and vulnerability, they live in the shadows of an unfair legal system.

Sujettes à des taux de violence, de pauvreté et de vulnérabilité anormalement élevés, elles vivent dans l’ombre d’un système juridique inique. Ce travail de recherche s’intéresse aux rapports historiques entretenus entre les populations autochtones et la société civile canadienne. Les héritages ...
