Through our work with the community, Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG), and other support systems, we seek to create culturally safe spaces for dialogue and dealing with issues facing Indigenous women, gender diverse peoples, and their families through land-based teachings and traditional values for a safer and more inclusive future.

YAWC focuses its support on Indigenous women, girls, and gender diverse victims of violence and mental or trauma illness and individuals and their families of MMIWG, whether they testified or not in the National Inquiry into MMIWG. YAWC is leading a growing number of initiatives in partnership with other agencies.
