MMIWG2S+
Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People
Honouring Our Sisters. Demanding Justice. Creating Change.
Inuit women, girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ people continue to face disproportionate violence across Inuit Nunangat and in urban communities.
This is not a new crisis.
It is the result of colonial systems, displacement, systemic racism, and ongoing inequities that continue to impact Inuit lives today.
At Amautiit, we honour those we have lost, stand with families and survivors, and work toward a future where Inuit women and 2SLGBTQIA+ people are safe, supported, and thriving.
Why This Matters
Indigenous women and girls in Canada are significantly more likely to experience violence than non-Indigenous women. Inuit-specific realities including housing insecurity, lack of access to services, and systemic barriers further increase vulnerability.
This crisis is not only about statistics.
It is about real people. Real families. Real communities.
Every life lost or missing leaves a lasting impact on loved ones and communities across generations.
Our Role at Amautiit
Amautiit works to support Inuit women and families through advocacy, education, and culturally grounded programming.
Our work includes:
- Creating safe and supportive spaces for Inuit women
- Hosting healing circles and community gatherings via zoom
- Raising awareness about MMIWG2S+ through education and outreach
- Advocating for systemic change and culturally appropriate supports
- Amplifying Inuit voices, stories, and lived experiences
We are guided by Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (IQ) values respect, collaboration, and care for one another.
Supporting Healing and Community
Healing looks different for everyone.
We recognize the strength of Inuit communities and the importance of:
- Storytelling
- Cultural connection
- Collective care
- Safe spaces for sharing and reflection
Amautiit is committed to creating opportunities where Inuit women and families can come together in ways that feel safe, supported, and meaningful.
Take Action
Everyone has a role in addressing MMIWG2S+.
You can:
- Learn about the issue and share awareness
- Attend or support community events and healing circles
- Listen to and uplift Inuit voices
- Advocate for better services and systemic change
- Support organizations doing this work
Resources & Support
If you or someone you know needs support, you are not alone.
- Crisis lines
- Local Inuit organizations
- National Indigenous support services
- Links to reports/resources
We Remember. We Honour. We Continue.
We carry the names, stories, and spirits of our sisters with us.
Through community, advocacy, and care, we continue the work toward justice, safety, and healing.
