As hundreds of events are planned across the country today to mark National Indigenous Peoples Day, recognizing First Nations, Inuit and Métis cultures and traditions, one of these traditions — the notoriously differentially high levels of aboriginal sexual assault — will go unmentioned.
I spent 33 years as a judge dealing with sexual and physical abuse in indigenous communities. The perpetrators- mainly the men - blamed their own abusive behaviour on everyone but themselves - residential schools, racism etc. The women mainly cooperated with this deception, fearing that holding the men to account would reflect badly on indigenous people. So it continues
I think we know who is primarily responsible for the majority of "Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women" in this country................ it's indigenous men!!! Yet the media consistently fails to address the reality of the issue............ making it sound like this is the fault of the "colonizers" read: white folks! I, for one, am SICK AND TIRED of the hipocracy! There are disgusting/violent/perverted men in all segments of ALL societies.............. but let's face it............. Women aren't going to meet the finest calibre of men when they spend their time whoring themselves for food/booze/drugs/shelter in some skid row beer parlour............
In the UK, Pakistani "grooming gangs" have raped approx. 1 million British girls since the 1960's.
Give the protective layers cast over the Reserves, plus the facts described in the above report, we can guess that something similar could be going on here.
Women failing to report rape are complicit by not reporting these kinds sexual assaults to police perpetuating more of the same behaviour by allowing it to happen.
Then the status quo will never change nor will justice be served! Only the brave will survive, those who leave may find a better life. Those that remain will continue to be abused at will, especially the youth!

Imagine, a sexual assault rate 10 times the national average and mainstream media ignore the matter, or worse, blame it on colonialism or modernity.
Exactly. And, just like the UK grooming/rape gang scandal, women and children are sacrificed at the alter of political correctness.

I would be reluctant to blame the victims. You don't know their pain or fear.

Your comment seems to reinforce the burden on the victims, so I can't agree with that.
