There are ten places in Canada that are the most dangerous for indigenous women and girls, but the RCMP won't publicly say where they are. “We certainly wouldn’t want to cause offence to anyone residing or leadership within those communities,” says RCMP Supt. Tyler Bates, who also serves as the Director of National Aboriginal Policing and Crime Prevention Services. But in those ten communities, indigenous women and girls are more vulnerable to becoming victims of homicides or to go missing than anywhere else in the country. Bates says the RCMP won't name the communities because the force doesn't want to stigmatize them, but adds that work will begin in those ten communities to reduce the dangers.
