ST. PAUL, Minn. – A new report says that Native American women and girls are at especially high risk. The Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Task Force said they accounted for 8% of all women and girls slain in Minnesota from 2010 through 2018 – eight times more than for the state’s overall female population. The task force report recommended a new law on violence against women. Also recommended: Expansion of Minnesota’s Safe Harbor Law to include all trafficking victims, not just those under 24.
