Canada is at a crossroads. Political agendas are putting human rights at risk. Women, gender-diverse people, and Indigenous peoples must not pay the price. We are watching, mobilizing, and refusing to be silent. ✊🏽📣 Justin Trudeau GCIndigenous Justice Canada

🪶FAFIA mourns the confirmation of Morgan Beatrice Harris’s remains. Canada’s failure to protect MMIWG2S+ persists. Advocacy—from families, organizers, and international human rights mechanisms like CERD—has forced action, but justice is still long overdue. #JusticeForMorgan

The second-generation cut-off is an extinction policy rooted in sex discrimination. It was designed to erase Indigenous women and their descendants from their communities and their rights. Canada must end it. cbc.ca/news/indigenou…
