The Canadian Femicide Observatory for Justice and Accountability (CFOJA) is a web-based research and information centre which aims to conduct, mobilize, exchange and promote research and knowledge to prevent femicide and other forms of gender-based killings in Canada.
Canada launches the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. Led by five commissioners, the inquiry investigated the root causes of systemic violence, state neglect, and the high rates of disappearance and murder of Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals.
The commission reviewed past and current research, conducted forensic analysis of police records, and heard testimony from over 1,500 survivors, family members, and experts across community and institutional hearings. The final report and subsequent recommendations were released in 2019.
