This session was part of the MNJRC's 2022 Re-Imagining Justice Conference. To learn more about the annual conference, please visit: https://www.mnjrc.org/re-imagining-justice-conference

The Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Task Force was created in 2019 to examine the root causes, systemic problems, and potential solutions to violence against indigenous women and girls in Minnesota, including members of the two spirit community. Established by the Minnesota Legislature in 2019, the task force includes representatives from 11 tribal nations, community and advocacy organizations, legislators, law enforcement, and the legal field. 

The Indigenous women who led Minnesota’s Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) Task Force and who run the newly created MMIW Office in the Department of Public Safety will discuss what they’ve learned through the Task Force’s work.

Panelists Nicole MartinRogers (Wilder Research), Minnesota State Senator Mary Kunesh, Juliet Rudie, and Stephanie Autumn will speak on how indigenous women are affected by community safety, procedural justice, and “beyond bars.”
