Inspired by and responding directly to the Calls for Justice offered in the National Inquiry on Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls Final Report, in particular Call 1.4 which demands “urgent and special measures to ensure that Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA people are represented in… governance and leadership,” the “Calling for Justice and Re-Imagining Governance” project contributes to the ongoing work of Indigenous women, girls, Two-Spirit, and gender-diverse kin who are actively working to stop a genocide through their leadership and governance. The aim of this project is to propose new systems of governance and expressions of self determination which centre gendered realities. This report synthesizes the key findings from the project.
