The Native Women’s Shelter of Montreal (NWSM) project responds to the immediate need for assistance expressed by families and loved ones in the cases where an Indigenous woman or girl (trans, two -spirit) goes missing. NWSM’s aim is reducing and ultimately eradicating the number of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls (trans, two-spirit) of Quebec and to offer support and ensure adequate, anti-racist response from institutions when someone goes missing, and to reduce barriers in accessing supports. The project goals include: ensuring police file a report and do a proper investigation; ensuring that police adopt best practices in responding to this crisis; assisting families, friends when an Indigenous woman or girl (trans, two-spirit) goes missing and that they have the emotional support during this very difficult time; implementing prevention strategies within a harm reduction model with the community and community partners; developing a welcome kit for Indigenous women and girls (trans, two-spirit) when they are new to the city of Montreal; and, providing a 1-800 number so that anyone can offer tips on MMIW or request help.

The Ontario Native Women’s Association’s overall goal of this program is to support families and loved ones of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women & Girls (MMIWG). The program will continue to honour the memory of MMIWG through ceremony and other cultural activities, which is essential to family healing. The program will provide information, coordination, counselling and ceremonial supports to families of Indigenous women, girls and 2S people who have been murdered or gone missing. This program will leverage the expertise of Indigenous women, lessons learned through its existing work and mobilize it to drive forward the following objectives: provide MMIWG prevention education and training to service providers and communities; connect families to cultural support services in their communities; provide families and communities with the opportunity to honour their loved ones through ceremony; maintain an ongoing list that can be shared with communities of trauma-informed counseling and supports, including traditional ceremony services; and, provincial coordination and information sharing to multiple stakeholders.
