Women’s National Housing & Homelessness Network’s Post

Today is the National Day of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Gender-Diverse People (MMIWG2S). We honour the lives stolen and the families and communities who continue to carry grief and demand justice. The ongoing crisis of violence against Indigenous women, girls, and gender-diverse people is rooted in colonization, systemic racism, and the dispossession of land and housing. The National Inquiry’s Calls for Justice remain largely unfulfilled. These are not recommendations—they are legal imperatives rooted in human rights. Canada must take urgent action to end this genocide: - Full implementation of the Calls for Justice from the National Inquiry - Safe, affordable, culturally-rooted housing as a cornerstone of ending gendered violence - Real accountability from governments at every level
