This resource will educate employers, amplify Indigenous women’s voices, and eliminate barriers and stereotypes, with practical solutions and tools to promote inclusive spaces, including for single mothers. LHF will actively engage the community, including Indigenous women from diverse backgrounds, in Ontario, Quebec, British-Columbia, Alberta and North West Territories to ensure their voices and experiences shape the project and have a meaningful impact that will lead to economic security for all Indigenous women and youth. By promoting understanding, awareness and action, this project strives to create a more equitable and respectful work environment; thereby addressing the identified needs and advancing the principles of diversity and inclusion in addition to addressing the systemic disparities facing Indigenous women.
