Native Women's Association of Canada
Non-profit Organizations
The voice of First Nations, Inuit and Métis women and gender-diverse people in Canada since 1974.
About us
The Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC) is a National Indigenous Organization representing the political voice of Indigenous women, girls and gender diverse people in Canada, inclusive of First Nations on and off reserve, status and non-status, disenfranchised, Métis and Inuit. An aggregate of Indigenous women’s organizations from across the country, NWAC was founded on the collective goal to enhance, promote and foster the social, economic, cultural and political well-being of Indigenous women within their respective communities and Canada societies. Since 1974, NWAC has established strong and lasting governance structures, decision-making processes, financials policies and procedures, and networks to help achieve its overall mission and goals. Today, NWAC engages in national and international advocacy aimed at legislative and policy reforms that promote equality for Indigenous women, girls, Two-Spirit and gender diverse people, including LGBTQ+ people. Through advocacy, policy and legislative analysis, NWAC works to preserve Indigenous culture and advance the well-being of all Indigenous women, girls and gender diverse people, as well as their families and communities. NWAC works on a variety of issues such as employment, labour and business, health, violence prevention and safety, justice and human rights, environment, early learning childcare and international affairs. Much like a “Grandmother’s Lodge,” we as aunties, mothers, sisters, brothers and relatives collectively recognize, respect, promote, defend and enhance our Indigenous ancestral laws, spiritual beliefs, language and traditions given to us by the Creator.

The 2024 #FES highlights that the #GOC has made some progress in advancing economic reconciliation and creating opportunities for Indigenous communities, allowing them to make meaningful economic investments. However, we continue to see critical issues like #MMIWG2S+ remain unaddressed year after year. The #GOC has failed to outline how funding allocated to address MMIWG2S+ is being leveraged to address the ongoing epidemic. While the #GOC is focused on addressing the challenges affecting the lives of every Canadians, such as the rising cost of living. It is essential that we also prioritize the issues facing Indigenous women in all of their diversity and bring an end to the #MMIWG2S+ genocide.
