NWAC to host "Knowledge to Action Day"

On March 31, 2010 the Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC) will host a “Knowledge to Action” day in Ottawa, with the objective of sharing research and identifying action related to missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls in Canada.

The daylong affair will engage experts in the discussion of violence and victimization of Aboriginal women, and the critical issue of missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls in Canada. The event will begin with focused presentations on current research findings produced by NWAC’s Sisters in Spirit (SIS) initiative, and will allow discussion with participants to identify how NWAC can move forward with key stakeholders to enhance evidence-informed decision making.
