The Highway of Tears is a 719-kilometre (447 mi) corridor of Highway 16 between Prince George and Prince Rupert in British Columbia,Canada,which has been the location of crimes against many women,beginning in 1970 when the highway was completed. The phrase was coined during a vigil held in Terrace,British Columbia in 1998,by Florence Naziel,who was thinking of the victims' families crying over their loved ones. There are a disproportionately high number of Indigenous women on the list of victims,hence the association with the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) movement.
