Report Political involvement Indigenous women

Suzy Basile, Professor Emeritus and Canada Research Chair in Issues Relating to Indigenous Women as well as Director of the Mikwatisiw Research Laboratory on Indigenous Women’s Issues at the University of Québec in Abitibi-Témiscamingue (UQAT), produced a seminal report in May 2022 on the political involvement of Indigenous women in Québec.

This collaborative research report offers an in-depth, informed analysis of the challenges, opportunities and contributions of Indigenous women to the political sphere in Quebec. It is an invaluable resource for better understanding and supporting our Indigenous sisters in their struggle for recognition, justice and equality.

A synthesis of the results was made available in July 2022, enabling wider dissemination of this important knowledge. This is a major step forward in our common quest for a more inclusive and equitable future for women of all origins.

We warmly congratulate Suzy Basile and her team on this significant contribution, and pledge to continue to support and amplify the voices of Indigenous women in all spheres of society.
