Deputy Grand Chief Anna Betty Achneepineskum presented on behalf of the AFN Women’s Council to open Day 2 of the 45th Annual General Assembly in Montreal this morning.
She highlighted work being done on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples and 2SLGBTQI+, building international relationships to support, teach, and learn from each other, and advocate for the implementation of the 231 Calls for Justice from the MMIWG National Inquiry to address the root causes of this violence.
“It is important for our women to be able to gather and have resources to fulfill their mandate,” she said.
