Huffington Postさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Huffington PostInstagram)「After years of unnecessary delays, the House passed legislation on Monday to help law enforcement respond to a horrifying and largely invisible crisis: Hundreds of Native American women are mysteriously disappearing or being murdered.⁠ ⁠ The bill, Savanna’s Act, passed on a voice vote with little fanfare. It now heads to President Donald Trump’s desk to be signed into law.⁠ ⁠ The measure, authored by Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and passed by the Senate in March, responds to a devastating situation in which nobody can say, exactly, what is going on. At least 506 Indigenous women and girls have gone missing or been murdered in 71 U.S. cities, including more than 330 since 2010, according to a November 2018 report by Urban Indian Health Institute. And that’s likely a gross undercount given the limited or complete lack of data being collected by law enforcement agencies.⁠ ⁠ Ninety-five percent of these cases were never covered by the national media, and the circumstances surrounding many of these deaths and disappearances remain unknown.⁠ ⁠ Murkowski’s bill is as much an attempt to put attention on the issue as it is to understand the severity of it. It boosts coordination and data collection between tribal, local, state and federal law enforcement in cases involving missing and murdered Native women. It requires federal agencies to get recommendations from tribes on how to enhance the safety of Native women, and requires new guidelines for responding to these cases, in consultation with tribes.⁠ ⁠ “The issue of missing or murdered Indigenous women has been a crisis for such a painfully long time. Many tribal advocates and family members of those affected worked so tirelessly on this issue, and I am proud to have worked alongside them to elevate this crisis at the local, state, and national level,″ Murkowski told HuffPost in a statement. “Today is a big victory in our fight to provide justice for victims, healing for their families, and protection for women and children across the nation.” ⁠ ⁠ Read more at our link in bio. // 📝 @jenbend // 📷 Getty Images」9月23日 23時31分
