Our team of expert panelists address the socio-historical causes of violence against Indigenous women, girls and two spirits in Canada and discuss what role or responsibility, if any, the Federal Government may have in finding a solution to the problem. The discussion will consider some of the available political, legal and social responses to the problem, and the informational challenges that exist in finding and implementing a workable solution. This event will take a broad scope to the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women and two spirits while retaining its focus upon finding practicable solutions.
