Reclaiming our place, power, and identity:

A look back at 2021

As we look back at 2021 and the unpredictability of the ongoing pandemic, there were many ways that NWAC quickly adapted—even thrived to fulfill its mission, goals, and objectives—despite the ongoing challenges.

We were vocal when it came to calling out the government for better strategies and support for specific Indigenous women, girls, and gender-diverse people, who faced increased isolation, were exposed to serious systemic, domestic, and conjugal violence, and had to deal with continued social, economic, and political marginalization.

NWAC released our own action plan in response to the MMIWG Calls for Justice. The plan included actionable items, for which we have already made significant progress. We worked hard to create a new Social and Economic Innovation Centre in Gatineau, Quebec, which opens this spring. The centre will act as a new workspace for employees and provide year-round programming for Indigenous women and gender-diverse people, including youth-specific education as well as cultural programming.


In
Reclaiming Our Place, Power and Identity 2020-2021 Annual Report , NWAC outlined all of these accomplishments, and more. We had an incredible 2021—focused on critical advocacy, research, and service delivery.

Together, along with our partners, NWAC will continue to reclaim the place, power, and identity of Indigenous women and gender-diverse people across the country.
