About this service
NWANWT recognizes the challenges that Native Women and their families encounter when talking to government workers and other agents in place to help them. We understand first-hand that discrimination is a reality we continue to struggle against. We are here to ensure you have someone to walk with you, and be with you when you need to have your voice and story heard. Your stories provide us with the information we need when talking with policy makers and government workers to advocate for change. Your stories allow us to fight for the changes needed to create a fair and just society where all people are respected and treated equally. Last year in our Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls report, we recommended that the Child Welfare legislation and practices be reviewed as it was creating conditions that put Indigenous women and girls at risk of violence. This was echoed in the 2017 MMIWG Interim Report Our Women and Girls Are Sacred.
