"Embracing Our Strengths: Indigenous Women as Leaders, Healers, and Knowledge Keepers. We are awake, we are speaking our truths, and we are taking our rightful place in the world.” #IndigenousWomen #StrengthInCommunity #Leadership

We’re going to guess minimal instructions 🫠

Today, we honour the women whose lives were taken and hold close the families, friends, and communities who carry their memories. We stand with MMIWG2S+ families and survivors of gender-based violence, and reaffirm our commitment to justice and ending the ongoing violence.

The 16 Days of Activism end on Human Rights Day, but the work doesn’t. Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people still face barriers to education and lower incomes, conditions that heighten the risk of violence. Today, we are called to act for safety, equity & justice.

If Canada is serious about #reconciliation, it must ensure organizations carrying this work forward are not forced to disappear. Read more from Hilda Anderson-Pyrz in The Hill Times 👇

The UN Committee on Civic and Political Rights has found “limited substantive progress” toward reconciliation in Canada.

The report specifically highlights the sustained violence against Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQIA+ people and the lack of action against patriarchal and racial stereotypes which perpetuate that violence.

We’re calling on the government to immediately increase its efforts to fully implement the 231 Calls for Justice to protect the safety and security of Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQIA+ people. Read the full release: familysurvivorscircle.ca/2026/03/25/un-…

We continue to see a troubling pattern of ongoing inequitable and inconsistent funding cycles. This lack of sustained support is a significant barrier to making real progress in combatting this crisis.

“When you say generational to Indigenous people, that means something very powerful. We’re looking out for the next seven generations. That’s why the work we’re doing today is so critical.”

This morning on Parliament Hill, the National Family and Survivors Circle spoke out against the federal government’s decision to sunset crucial funding for Indigenous organizations. Read more: familysurvivorscircle.ca/2026/04/08/ind…
