Maze of Injustice - The failure to protect Indigenous women from sexual violence in the USA

Amnesty International, 100 pages

More than one in three Native American or Alaska Native women will be raped at some point in their lives. Most do not seek justice because they know they will be met with inaction or indifference. As one support worker said, «Women don't report because it doesn't make a difference. Why report when your are just going to be revictimized?»

Sexual violence against women is not only a criminal or social issue, it is a human rights abuse.

This report unravels some of the reasons why Indigenous women in the USA are at such risk of sexual violence and why survivors are so frequently denied justice.
