sexual violence citation

The high levels of violence against Native American women were first highlighted in 1999, when the Department of Justice released its initial report.(HighCountry)(Bureau1999) Since the report, several studies on the topic have confirmed the severity of the crisis indicating that Native Americans are 2.5 times more likely to experience sexual assault and rape than any other ethnic group in the United States.(Highcountry) Furthermore, the Violence Against Women Act (first enacted in 1994) was reauthorized in 2013, with amendments to add protections for Native American women.(HighCountry) It gave tribal nations the power to prosecute non-tribal members for domestic violence, but not other crimes like sexual assault, child abuse or rape.(HighCountry)

In 2010, UIHI and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Division of Violence Prevention to administered a poll in Seattle, Washington.(Seattle) The results indicated that 94% of Native American women had experienced some form of sexual violence. (Seattle) UIHI stated, "the 94 percent figure and other results “cannot be generalized to all urban Native women in Seattle nor generalized across all urban Native women throughout the United States because participants were predominantly low-income and homeless women.”(Seattle)
