Indigenous Women, Girls and Gender-Diverse People Are Humans With Rights – Amnesty

Lynne Groulx is a Métis woman from the Treaty Three historic Métis community of Rainy River/Lake of the Woods, and is the Chief Executive Officer for the Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC). NWAC is a national Indigenous organization representing the political voice of Indigenous women, girls and gender diverse people in Canada, inclusive of First Nations on and off reserve, status and non-status, disenfranchised, Métis and Inuit. NWAC was founded on the collective goal to enhance, promote and foster the social, economic, cultural and political well-being of Indigenous women within their respective communities and Canadian societies.

In partnership with Amnesty’s Gender Rights Specialized Team, NWAC recently relaunched the Faceless Dolls Project in order to generate greater awareness of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls across Canada.
