Honouring the strength of our sisters : increasing access to human rights justice for indigenous women and girls.: HR4-37/2016E-PDF

"In 2013 and 2014, the Canadian Human Rights Commission (the Commission) held a series of roundtable meetings across the country with Indigenous women, representative Indigenous women’s organizations, and other organizations that provide services to First Nations, Métis and Inuit women . This report provides an overview of what the Commission heard from the women about access to human rights justice and access to justice in general. The report also engages the reader in an important discussion about how to take action to improve access to human rights justice for Indigenous women and girls, and others in vulnerable circumstances."--Executive summary, p. 7.
