Call to Action # 41: Justice (25-42)

First Nations Forum on Sexual Assault

March 26, 2018

128 delegates from First Nations across the province of Québec. Organized in partnership by Québec Native Women (QNW) and the First Nations of Québec and Labrador Health and Social Services Commission (FNQLHSSC), the objective of this forum is to define an action plan to fight the cycle of sexual violence within First Nations by supporting both victims and aggressors in their healing journey. In a spirit of respect for our cultures, our action plan focuses on four main objectives:

  • better access to services
  • improved collaboration between all local and regional partners
  • mobilization of all the First Nations people to break the cycle of sexual violence, and
  • a consolidation of tools and mechanisms needed to break this cycle in a safe and sustainable way
