First Nations women possess great resilience and strength

On this International Women's Day, I join all First Nations citizens in acknowledging the sacred and important place of First Nations women in our families, communities, and nations.

Despite being one of the most vulnerable populations in Canada, including lacking human rights protections afforded to other women, and, despite facing many political, socio-economic and cultural barriers, First Nations women possess great resilience and strength that will help lead our peoples and nations to a brighter future.
