On June 3, 2021, the Core Working Group composed of national Indigenous organizations and stakeholders released the 2021 Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ People National Action Plan: Ending Violence Against Indigenous Women, Girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ People.
The National Action plan comprises 10 Actions Plans from Federal, Provincial, Territorial and National Indigenous organizations and stakeholders. Sub-working groups made up the Core Working Group that included the 2SLGBTQQIA+ Sub-Working group, which was tasked and created the MMIWG-2SLBGTQQIA+ - National Action Plan- Final Report. The MMIWG-2SLBGTQQIA+ National Action Plan- Final Report outlines several incremental priorities to reduce violence against 2SLGBTQQIA+ People. It is important that a 2SLGBTQQIA+ strategic approach be established that reaches across all federal Departments if 2SLGBTQQIA+ physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and systemic issues are to be addressed.
