Canada vows action, but no time frame, on violence against indigenous women

TORONTO (Reuters) - The Canadian government said on Thursday it would direct more resources to First Nations police and address systemic racism in the justice system and law enforcement to tackle violence against indigenous women, but gave no time frame for achieving its "transformative changes."

The government vowed to give indigenous communities more control over some social services and improve access to health care. Its plan comes two years after a report into the deaths of more than 1,000 aboriginal women and girls in recent decades called it a national genocide.
