The change won't mean any less advocacy for women and girls
THUNDER BAY – Nishnawbe Aski Nation is broadening the way it advocates for the families of Indigenous people who have been murdered or considered missing.
NAN’s 2024 Chiefs Winter Assembly saw a motion brought forward that would expand advocacy to include missing and murdered Indigenous people. The motion was supported by the chiefs in attendance both in-person and by-proxy. "It will address some of the lack of resources that we have, for example, shelters, we don't have emergency shelters for, say, a single dad with children, or our gender diverse citizens,” she said.
The change won't mean any less advocacy for women and girls, Achneepineskum said, adding that NAN wants to see more funding for the prevention of gender-based violence.
