It is also used to influence and guide governments so that their policies do a better job of meeting the needs of Aboriginal women.
Aboriginal, Inuit, and Metis women in Canada are also part of the program. The association must also look at how, at the end of the five-year period, these women will be able to continue this work without government funding.
