The Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC) is a National Indigenous Organization representing the voices of Indigenous women, girls, Two-Spirit, transgender, and gender-diverse people. NWAC works alongside First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples to advance their safety, rights, and well-being. The Community Care, Collective Justice: An MMIWG2S+ Advocacy Toolkit was created to support families, communities, and grassroots advocates in strengthening their advocacy for urgent action and accountability to address the ongoing crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people (MMIWG2S+).

This toolkit was created for families, survivors, youth, grassroots organizers, and community groups who are already doing the work of protection, advocacy, and resistance, often without funding, institutional support, and/or adequate rest. It also sits intentionally within NWAC’s broader ecosystem of advocacy tools, including the Warrior’s Briefcase, Safe Passage, Sister’s in Spirit, the MMIWG2S+ Scorecards, and national accountability initiatives. Where these tools support safety, healing, data collection, and monitoring, this toolkit provides the advocacy bridge between community experience and political power. It is meant to support people in understanding how systems work, how pressure is applied, and how to turn lived experience into sustained political action.
