Gender-Based Violence Action Plan

This year, I worked with Naqsmist to develop a Gender-Based Violence (GBV) What We Learned Report and Recommendations for Indigenous communities in British Columbia. This report is a crucial resource for understanding the effects of GBV on Indigenous populations and provides actionable recommendations for systemic change. The recommendations encompass areas of education, foster care, medical systems, broader support networks, and Coming of Age. Addressing GBV must be a collective effort between Nations, the federal government, the BC government, community organizations, and individuals. Let's work together to promote community-driven and defined approaches to addressing GBV with flexible support from all governments that respect the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
