It's hard to pinpoint exactly how many MMIW there are because official numbers are often incomplete. Estimates say more than 5,700 cases per year, but the real number is probably much higher. Many cases go unreported or aren't properly tracked due to
things like jurisdiction issues, bias, and lack of resources.
Indigenous women face a lot of vulnerability because of systemic problems, historical trauma, and ongoing violence, which means a lot of cases are missed or ignored.
