‘This funding will save lives,’ says president Rebecca Kudloo
The head of a national organization representing Inuit women says she’s looking to Monday’s federal budget to deliver increased support for Inuit women fleeing violence.
That support would ideally include money for the construction and operation of Inuit-specific shelters and transition housing for women and children who need respite from abusive situations at home, according to Rebecca Kudloo, president of Pauktuutit Inuit Women of Canada.
“New funding … will demonstrate some tangible government action on the June 2019 Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Inquiry report,” she said.
