Official narratives about killings of women/girls – whether 1 female, multiple females, or female/male victims – can obscure killings often & typically #femicide or had origins in #misogyny.
That's why countries need femicide watches/observatories.
That why #CFOJA exists.

The lengths @SaskatoonPolice went to find Mackenzie, refusing to give up for months on this horrific task, are truly heroic & exemplary.
We saw the same intensity in bringing Megan Gallagher home to her family.
SPS deserves massive kudos for its commitment to these women.
