In paragraph format, write about human rights in law and society to analyze how Indigenous women have put human rights into action in their fight against the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) and 2SLGBTQIA+. Include a short section that provides background information on the issue of MMIWG and 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals in Canada. As part of this short section, the paper should also briefly summarize the report and campaign materials you have chosen to analyze, i.e. what are the main findings of the CEDAW Committee or the IACHR, what were the main claims of NWAC and FAFIA? As part of this section, include research from:

The paper should include a main analysis section, focusing on how human rights are claimed, contested, enforced or not enforced in the case of Indigenous women's activism against MMIWG and 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals. It should also pay attention to the relationship between law (domestic or international) and structural inequalities (gender, race, sexuality, class, citizenship, ability, etc). In other words, your main objective is to apply the relevant findings from Backhouse (1994), Dawson (2016), Green (2014), Nagy (2016), Garca-Del Moral (2022), and Bourgeois (2018) material in your analysis, paying attention to the key socio-legal issues based on a well- developed argument.

To help conduct an argument, answer some of these questions. How are Indigenous activists claiming human rights? o How are these claims contested by the Canadian state? o How did the CEDAW Committee or the IACHR respond to the claims by Indigenous activists and the Canadian state? o Why is the issue at hand framed in terms of human rights? Who has done this framing? o What role do power relations and structural inequalities in terms of gender, race, class, sexuality, citizenship, ability, etc play in this framing? o What understanding of human rights does this framing reflect? Human rights as a moral force? In terms of law? As a practice? All of them? o Do you think that this framing is resonant? Why or why not? Does it adopt "local" understandings of human rights? I.e., does vernacularization play a role here? o Is this a matter of a failed enforcement of human rights? Is Canada failing to observe its international legal obligations? Why or why not? Who makes this claim? Who supports it? o What is the Canadian state expected to do about this human rights issue? Whose expectation is this? From activists? Supranational institutions, like the CEDAW Committee or the IACHR? o What are supranational organizations like the UN CEDAW Committee or the IACHR expected to do about this human rights issue? Whose expectation is this? o What role do civil society actors play in enforcing human rights?
