Forsaken. building the women's legacy of safety together : the report of the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry Vol. III Gone, but not forgotten

British Columbia. Missing Women Commission of Inquiry. (Author). Oppal, Wallace T. (Added Author). Canadian Electronic Library (Firm) (Added Author). Coherent Digital (Firm) (Added Author).

Summary: The story of the missing women is a tragedy of epic proportions. The women were forsaken: first, by society in general in failing to provide them with the basic conditions of safety and security to which every human being is entitled; second, by the police who are entrusted with the responsibility of protecting all members of society, particularly the vulnerable, and for solving crimes perpetrated against everyone. While this inquiry focuses on the police failure to fully and effectively investigate the disappearances of the women from the DTES, ultimately all of society shares the responsibility for allowing this tragedy to unfold.
