| Scope and content | This file contains a presentation by six members of Association des Femmes autochtones du Quebec, a group represents approximately 3000 women from Aboriginal nations residing in Quebec. It focuses on three issues: family violence, day care for pre-school children and Aboriginal women in the urban setting. The group deals with obstacles when attempting to help Aboriginal women, such as the lack of support for domestic violence victims and the lack of resources to assist persons who assault or abuse. Attempting to acquire funding for Aboriginal child care facilities is difficult as the Quebec and federal governments assess the jurisdiction and financial resources required, often taking years. The presenters also discuss Bill C-31 and the presence of Aboriginal women in political life. A lengthy question-and-answer session with the Commissioners follows the presentation. | |
