加拿大原住民婦女協會（NWAC）的成立，以促進、提昇和推動第一民族和梅蒂斯族的婦女在其生活環境中，各種層面（如社會、經濟、文化以及政治上）的福祉為共同目標。從1974年以來，該協會做為一個代表全國原住民族婦女的組織，力求實踐全加拿大原住民族婦女的平等。為實現目標，該協會與聯合國和國際特赦組織等國際組織積極合作，希望終結對原住民婦女的歧視。
The Native Women''s Association of Canada (NWAC) is founded on the collective goal to enhance, promote, and foster the social, economic, cultural and political well-being of First Nations and Métis women within First Nation, Métis and Canadian societies. As a national organization representing Aboriginal women since 1974, NWAC’s mandate is to achieve equality for all Aboriginal women in Canada. NWAC is actively involved with partner organizations across the globe towards this goal, including the United Nations and Amnesty International to end the discrimination against Indigenous women. |
