OTTAWA, ON, Dec. 15, 2020 /CNW/ - Violence towards First Nations, Inuit, and Métis women, girls, Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex and asexual (2SLGBTQQIA) people is an ongoing national tragedy. We must continue to remember and honour those daughters, mothers, grandmothers, aunties and 2SLGBTQQIA people, who were taken from us, and the survivors and family and community members, whose lives have been forever changed. The Government of Canada, in collaboration with partners across the country, is continuing the critical work to end violence against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people.
