Promoting justice for Aboriginal women and girls

For most of us, today is Valentines Day.

But for Aboriginal children living on reserves, today is an especially important day. The First Nations Child and Family Caring Society of Canada is at the Federal Court today, arguing that Canada is discriminating against Aboriginal children by underfunding child welfare services. PSAC invites you to Have a Heart for First Nations Children.

February 14 also marks the date of the annual Women's Memorial March, in honour of missing and murdered Aboriginal women. Event are being organized in different cities across Canada.

PSAC deplores the Harper governement's inaction in the ongoing tragedy of violence against Aboriginal women. The recent report of a Parliamentary Committee demonstrates this government's shocking disregard for the plight of Aboriginal women.

Visit PSAC's campaign page: Justice for Aboriginal People's – It's Time and watch the video made by PSAC members, explaining why they “can't just get over” the colonialism and discrimination that Aboriginal Peoples continue to face every day.
