Indicting Justice
In their April 2007 report Maze of Injustice, Amnesty International documents the failure to protect Indigenous women from sexual violence in the USA. In an attempt to address this brutal legacy of ongoing colonialism in Indian country, Amnesty International — with the cooperation of Indigenous women’s organizations across the country — has compiled both an earth-shattering indictment of the US justice system, as well as a solid plan of action. Failing to act on this plan is not merely racist, it is inhuman.
