Dear John,
We are mid-way through the federal election campaign and we need to take action
to make sure that human rights—including women’s rights—are key election issues!
We asked all of the federal parties for their positions on our Top 10 Election
Asks, and so far three parties have responded ( you can read them here

One of our key calls is for all federal parties to commit to developing a
National Action Plan to Address and Prevent Gender-Based Violence including, as
recommended by the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women
and Girls, the staggeringly high levels of violence against Indigenous women,
girls, and two-spirit people.
We are calling on all parties to stop downplaying or dismissing the scale and
severity of the violence experienced by First Nations, Metis, and Inuit women,
girls, and two-spirit persons in Canada, and take concrete action to end the
violence.
Will you call on your local candidates to commit to action to end violence
against Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit persons?
