The British Columbia Region is offering a series of virtual engagement sessions to help develop a First Nations National Action Plan to End Violence Against Indigenous Women, Girls and 2SLGBTQQIA People. This work is undertaken in collaboration with the Assembly of First Nations and British Columbia Assembly of First Nations Regional Office.

The AFN Women’s Council have been asked to gather input and guidance from family members and survivors in each region of Canada. Participating in these sessions is voluntary, and the dialogue during these sessions will be incorporated into a “What we Heard” report that will include information collected through the three pathways. The ‘What We Heard” report will be prepared by the co-facilitators of the BC region.

The personal information collected on this form for registration will be used to provide details for the virtual Sessions and to provide updates on the regional work following the virtual Sessions.
