SAN DIEGO   Gov. Gavin Newsom has appointed Carlsbad resident and professor Joely Proudfit to the Commission on the Status of Women and Girls, making her the first Indigenous woman in the role. Proudfit (Luiseño/Payómkawichum) is a professor at Cal State San Marcos who has served since 2008 as American Indian studies chair and director of the California Indian Culture and Sovereignty Center. During her four-year term on the commission, Proudfit plans to support the concerns of all women and to highlight issues that affect Indigenous women and girls in particular. Indigenous women and girls face disproportionately high rates of murder, domestic violence, sexual assault and disappearance. A 2018 report from the Urban Indian Health Institute found that murder is the third-leading cause of death for Indigenous women, and the Department of Justice reports that nearly half of Indigenous women experience sexual assault.
