Windsor Law Professor Beverly Jacobs co-authored an opinion piece that was published in the Globe and Mail this week. The article, co-authored by Meggie Cywinkwith, addressed the inactivity surrounding violence against Indigenous women (MMIWGT2S+).
June 3 marked the one-year anniversary of the report on the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, with its call for a National Action Plan (NAP) to end violence against Indigenous women.
According to the authors, affected families and grassroots Indigenous women’s organizations have been met with "another year of deafening silence from the federal government."
