The document states that the GNWT is committed to incorporating the lived experience of Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people in the finalization of the action plan.

The territorial government plans to carry out its public engagement process from January 2022 until April 2022.

The objectives of the engagement are as follows:

-To increase awareness and acknowledge that violence against Indigenous women and girls, including members of the 2SLGBTQQIA+ community, is a crisis that demands an urgent and active response

-To inform and seek feedback from Indigenous governments, Indigenous organizations, community/territorial organizations, people with lived experience on existing programs and services, proposed enhancements, and new initiatives intended to address the calls for justice

-To take a culturally safe and decolonized approach and ensure a strong voice for Indigenous women is reflected in the design and conduct of community engagement

The finalized version of the action plan is expected to be tabled in June 2022.
