Aboriginal Women's Program

Where can I find information about the Aboriginal Women's Program?

Objective

To enable Aboriginal women to influence policies, programs, legislation and decision making that affect their social, cultural, economic and political well-being within their own communities and Canadian society while maintaining their cultural distinctiveness and preserving cultural identity.

There are two components:

1. The Family Violence Initiative enables Aboriginal Women to address annually violence-related issues in a culturally appropriate manner with the nuclear as well as extended family within Aboriginal communities.
2. The self-government initiative enables Aboriginal women to participate fully and equitably in the consultations and decision-making process related to Aboriginal self-government issues.
