Description:
Indigenous Girls Matter Too! is a direct intervention project that specifically targets Indigenous girls aged 12-17 in Edmonton who have been in contact with the criminal justice system under the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA). The project is designed to improve the youth justice system’s ability to help youth rehabilitate and reintegrate by providing a culturally appropriate and trauma-informed alternative to traditional court measures. The project will also work to reduce the overrepresentation of Indigenous youth in the justice system by offering a comprehensive, community-based response to less serious offending and provide a holistic suite of services to address the root causes of youth criminality and empower participants to lead positive and productive lives.
