Womanact

📢 This month, WomanACT recognizes National Indigenous History Month and honours the strength, leadership, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis women, girls, and gender-diverse people across Canada. 🧡

Indigenous women and organizations continue to lead critical work addressing gender-based violence, community safety, healing, advocacy, and systemic inequities rooted in ongoing colonial violence.

This month — and every day — we encourage our communities to support Indigenous-led organizations, amplify Indigenous voices, and engage in meaningful acts of Truth and Reconciliation.

How can you get involved?

1️⃣ Support Indigenous women-led organizations advancing safety, healing, advocacy, and community care — including Ontario Native Women's Association (ONWA) Anduhyaun Inc. and Native Women's Resource Centre of Toronto

2️⃣ Learn from Indigenous writers, artists, educators, and advocates whose work highlights the realities of colonialism, resistance, and resilience.

3️⃣ Amplify Indigenous voices by sharing content from Indigenous creators, activists, and community leaders.

4️⃣ Attend local Indigenous-led events, workshops, and community gatherings to learn directly from communities.

🧡 Supporting Indigenous women and communities means supporting leadership, self-determination, and long-term community care.
