On #WorldDayOfSocialJustice, we affirm justice must include all off-reserve Indigenous Peoples — Métis, Status & Non-Status Indians, and Southern Inuit peoples — who face barriers to housing, education, safety, language, services & more. Justice means action, inclusion & equity.

Read why leaving Indigenous people out of MMIWG2S+ decision-making endangers lives.

What we heard was clear: exclusion weakens solutions.

hat we heard was clear: exclusion weakens solutions.

When Indigenous people impacted by this crisis are at the heart of the work, policies are stronger and communities are safer.

The work continues — and CAP will keep pushing for meaningful inclusion.

Safety. Healing. Lived experience. Solutions.
 
CAP is bringing people together to do the work — because the work can’t wait and neither can we.

Today, governments meet to discuss the MMIWG2S+ crisis.

CAP was not invited.

CAP’s message is simple: you cannot address a national crisis while excluding so many Indigenous women, families, and communities affected by it.

Safety must be built with all voices at the table.

The government has offered CAP virtual participation only. This gesture is more symbolic than meaningful. Virtual participation is not the same as having a seat at the table.

Meaningful inclusion means being fully present, heard, and engaged — not sidelined.

Most Indigenous people in Canada live off reserve, many in urban centres where violence against Indigenous women and families continues to occur.

Excluding CAP from a national table on the MMIWG2S+ crisis means excluding off-reserve and non-status realities — and that makes the response incomplete.

As governments meet this week to address the MMIWG2S+ crisis, the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples has been excluded from full, in-person participation.

When Indigenous voices are missing from decision-making tables, public safety policies are built with gaps — and those failures endanger lives.

This crisis demands more than words. Call for Justice 1.8 makes it clear: Canada must provide long-term, sustainable funding for MMIWG2S+ programs and services—funding that supports survivors, strengthens families, and empowers community-led solutions.
