| dc.description.abstract | The sexual exploitation of Indigenous women and girls has historical implications from early settler contact in Canada. Indigenous women have been the targets to break down a nation of people and used to build the backbone of Canada through patriarchy policies and laws that continue to oppress and marginalize Indigenous people. They have experienced and continue to experience many forms of abuse, violence, discrimination, and racism because these forms of oppression are deeply rooted in Canada’s colonial structures. Indigenous women and girls are disproportionally over-represented in being sexually exploited as a direct result of these colonial ties. Centering traditional Indigenous worldviews, access to ceremony and culturally reflective programming, change can take place, healing can start and for our women to emerge back into the land to find their voice and challenge the systemic barriers that have been in place that kept them voiceless for centuries. | en_US |
