Despite significant funding efforts and programmatic interventions to address the disappearance and murder of Indigenous women, advocates and researchers report that progress remains insufficient. As detailed in an ABC15 article, the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System had recorded only a dozen missing Indigenous women from Arizona as of mid-2020, but the Navajo Nation reported nearly double that number on their own missing persons list, with some cases stretching back decades. A crucial element to understanding the scale of the crisis is the chronic underreporting and the complexities of jurisdictions that incentivize the passing of responsibility between enforcement agencies.
