Advocates urge stable, long-term funding to ensure safety for Indigenous women

Advocates are calling for long-term, stable federal funding to safeguard Indigenous women and girls, warning the federal government's major projects push could place them at higher risk. Hilda Anderson-Pyrz, president of the National Family and Survivors Circle, says groups like hers still don't know if they'll receive continued funding from Ottawa, which undermines their ability address the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.
