The resolution addresses the critical issue of the missing person crisis in Chicago, particularly focusing on the disproportionate impact on Black women and girls. It highlights the intersectionality of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status as contributing factors to gender-based violence. The resolution cites alarming statistics, noting that Black women represented nearly 1 in 4 crime victims in 2022, despite making up only 16% of the city's population. Additionally, it points out that Black women accounted for a significant percentage of recorded sexual assaults, kidnappings, and assaults on public transportation, as well as a concerning proportion of missing person cases among young Black girls.

In response to these issues, the resolution calls for the Committee on Public Safety to hold a hearing on the crisis of missing women in Chicago. It emphasizes the need for collaboration among various stakeholders, including the newly convened Illinois Task Force on Missing and Murdered Chicago Women, the Mayor's Task Force on Missing Women, and experts in the field. The resolution aims to shed light on the systemic problems surrounding the reporting and handling of missing persons, particularly for marginalized communities, and seeks to develop actionable solutions to address this urgent crisis.
