TO GO WITH AFP STORY by Marion THIBAUT, "'We are not trash': Horrors suffered by Canada's Indigenous women"
Constable Wayne Clary, investigator with the E-Pana division of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) task force, speaks in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, on May 2, 2024. The "Highway of Tears" in British Columbia is a stark monument, activists say, to the many ways Canada has failed Indigenous women. On the side of the highway is an incongruous sight: red dresses nailed to posts symbolizing vanished women. Clary tries to explain the tragedy of the highway: "The northern areas are very, very isolated. Some of the activities that these women engage in, and not just Indigenous, but other women, they make themselves available for men who prey on women," he says. He rejects accusations of botched investigations, but acknowledges: "In the past, communication may not have been there." (Photo by Sebastien ST-JEAN / AFP)
