The Women’s Team began work on the Indigenous Women’s Justice Plan (IWJP) Guiding Draft in March 2023, with a focus on uplifting the voices from previous reports and calls for justice.
The team reviewed 464 collective recommendations from the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Calls for Justice, The Red Women Rising Report, The Highway of Tears Symposium Recommendations Report, and other reports to develop a plan with tangible action for BCFNJC to progress and uplift this work, as well as working with partners to uplift their plans and strategic work in alignment with this plan.
Once complete, the IWJP Guiding Draft was taken to communities and utilized as a guide for 17 engagement sessions held in different communities throughout the province in Fall 2023.
