Legislative findings and intent. The legislature finds that: a. According to a 2020 report by the Women's Media Center there are 64,000-75,000 missing black women and girls across the United States. b. Cases involving black women and girls often do not receive the attention they need and there are often barriers to families reporting a loved one, such as mistrust of police, and racial disparities in how law enforcement treat disappearances. c. The tens of thousands of black women and girls who are missing include abductees, sex trafficking victims, and runaways. Black women and girls exist at the intersection of racism and sexism, and often face worse health, wealth, housing, education, and employment outcomes. d. Black girls comprise over 40% of domestic sex trafficking victims in the United States. e. Law enforcement often categorize missing black girls as runaways and fail to treat their cases with urgency. f. According to a 2020 report by the Sovereign Bodies Institute, a nonprofit, indigenous-led research organization, at least 2,306 missing Native American women and girls have gone missing in the last 40 years in the United States, about 1,800 of whom were killed or vanished. g. Systemic vulnerability and compounding suppressions have resulted in mass amounts of disappeared indigenous peoples, with the National Congress of American Indians finding that an estimated 40% of women who are victims of sex trafficking identify as American Indian, Alaska Native, or First Nations. h. Families of Native American women and girls who have gone missing report a lack of cultural awareness, systemic racism and sexism, and
