Environmental Justice and Indigenous Rights

Justice for Girls is currently developing our work in environmental justice and indigenous rights.
​

Justice for Girls recognizes the grave threats posed by the climate crisis and environmental degradation as well as the need for urgent action. Failure to address climate change disproportionately impacts girls, especially Indigenous girls, domestically and around the world. 

Indigenous girls disproportionately live in poverty and experience violence including assault, rape and murder. Indigenous girls are also disproportionately exposed to degraded ecosystems and are greatly impacted by deforestation, contamination of drinking water, depletion of fish stocks and environmental destruction due to resource extraction. 
​
Indigenous girls experience grave social and economic marginalization in Canada. Indigenous girls in Canada face extreme and epidemic levels of violence, as well as poverty and other deeply rooted and pervasive social inequalities as a result of colonization. There is currently a genocide of Indigenous women and girls in Canada; Justice for Girls calls for the immediate implementation of a National Action Plan developed by and for Indigenous women and girls through a transitional justice framework.
