The plan comes two years after the first National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.
It features seven goals, and short-term priorities to help end violence against marginalized communities and improve human rights in Canada.
The action plan cites $2.2 billion in the 2021 federal budget to ‘respond to the national tragedy’ of violence against Indigenous women and 2SLGBTQQIA+ Canadians, in addition to funds earmarked for Indigenous communities.
“We proposed a historic investment: over $18 billion over the next five years to improve the quality of life and create new opportunities for people living in Indigenous communities,” said Carolyn Bennett, Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations.
