CAP condemns continued exclusion from MMIWG Roundtable – The Laker
January 17, 2025
OTTAWA, ONT.: The Congress of Aboriginal Peoples (CAP) is deeply disappointed to be uninvited and excluded once again from participation at the upcoming National Indigenous-Federal-Provincial-Territorial (IFPT) Roundtable on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2SLGBTQI+ People, scheduled for January 29-30, 2025, in Ottawa.
This exclusion perpetuates the politicization of MMIWG discussions and denies CAP’s unique voice on behalf of off-reserve, non-status, Southern Inuit and urban Indigenous communities.
“This exclusion is a blatant disregard for the realities of Indigenous women who live off-reserve. Violence against Indigenous women does not stop at reserve boundaries, yet the government continues to ignore our people,” says CAP National Chief Brendan Moore.
