MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ NATIONAL ACTION PLAN

The mandate of the NIMMIWG was initially designed to report on all forms of violence perpetrated against Indigenous women and girls in Canada, however Indigenous concepts of gender identity broadened the inquiry’s mission to include Two-Spirit/Indigenous LGBTQ+ people. This shift recognized that Indigenous cultures accepted and included diverse concepts of gender and sexuality prior to European colonization.
