• Support Aboriginal Victims
• Protect Aboriginal Women and Girls

The Action Plan includes a range of measures, totaling nearly $200 million over five years to address crimes against Aboriginal women and girls and builds on the Government of Canada’s earlier investments to improve community safety, and to enhance the justice system and law enforcement response to cases of missing and murdered Aboriginal women.

Status of Women Canada is the federal agency leading the Action Plan to Address Family Violence and Violent Crimes Against Aboriginal Women and Girls and works in collaboration with:

• Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada
• Royal Canadian Mounted Police
