Honouring NAN Women Leaders
2020-12-14 03:00 - 2021-03-22 13:00
Welcome, Aiinin, Boozhoo, Wachey to Honouring NAN Women Leaders. This campaign is hosted by the NAN Women’s Council to highlight women leadership across NAN communities.

The Women’s Council recognizes that true leadership means lifting each other up! When women are supported in becoming leaders, it creates lasting change.

Over the next few months, we will show you how women in NAN communities use their leadership roles to confront violence against women.

The NAN Women’s Council would like to take this opportunity to learn about the women they represent: what leadership means to them, and how this leadership steers our communities towards safety and away from violence.

Whether you are a leader for your family, friends, or community, we want to hear from you! This campaign runs until March 2021. For a chance to be featured in this campaign, visit the link below by January 11.
